Ok I had to know.
I went to the web training pages for jaws and you have a bug with jaws.
Smile
Even on their sample table ware the second Colom is the header it does not
speak the header. I so rarely find a well-marked up table I was confusing
what does happen with what should happen. Yes the ctrl alt 5 does read the
header. But not in the first Colom. Even on their sample tables smile .
sorry sometimes I need to step back and remember that the norm is bad code
not good code and sometimes it's just that the screen reader also can be at
fault smile
