Hi James,

One thing that always helps me in these kinds of scenarios is to go to http://validator.w3.org and run the page's "view source" code through the HTML validator. This can quickly answer the question of whether <form> is allowed inside a table; it will validate any other HTML issues on the page too and if none then it at least passes WCAG 2.0 success criteria 4.1.1.

For the checkboxes and submit, it seems okay to me as long as the sets of checkboxes are in fieldsets (ie. <fieldset> <legend>) and labelled properly, etc. See example 2: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H71.html

I hope this helps a bit.

-Rob.
