All,

In relation to Captions and summaries. What should be the correct behaviour
for a screen reader. As Jaws and NVDA handle the caption differently. I
cannot recall how they handle summaries.

Jaws does not permit you to start to navigate the table until you are on the
first cell. NVDA appears to permit this when you are in the caption. Have
not tested this with Voiceover.
