RE: Same link text going to different places

Hi, Just a thought. Could you change the table so the towns were on one
axis and the Services on the other, using a caption of Matrix of campus
links by Town and Service. Then place icons or text in the table using the
proper markup for column and row headers. I would think it would be much
easier for a screen reader since the person could scan down to find the town
they were interested in and then allow thier reader to read the links,
including table header info coded in, across. When the table is coded
properly the reader should only repeat the town name when the visiter
changes rows. Leesa Lavigne
