<td> Vs <th> tags for use of scope attribute and headers in data tables

All,

My apologies, I used the wrong subject line.




I am interested in what people think about using the <td> tag instead of the
<th> tag for row headers when using the scope attribute. This has been
recommended by the access board at
http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/guide/1194.22.htm#%28g%29

I think you should use the <th> tag. Any thoughts on this?



Sincerely,

Mike Burks
