Re: Tables with irregular headers

Hi Glen,

For me I am able to hear 'Mars Produced' for NVDA as well. Certainly it is
because of browser/NVDA versions, I would be interesting in knowing yours.

Yes, I am a native screen reader user. Not trying to control what the
screen reader should speak for a particular row.

I am more trying to make a header work only for a given set of rows instead
of all. for the FSA example I shared if the sub-row headers are going to be
announced this way then surely one would hear all A-Z alphabets before
actually hearing the cell content.

Forgive me if I am confusing you but it's a little hard to put the whole
thing in words.

Thanks,
Vaibhav
