Re: A Problem with a Table, Checkbox, and Label

We have tried JAWS 5.x through 6.x.

If we tab through (either in Forms mode or virtual cursor mode,) the
labels for the checkboxes read correctly.

Unfortunately, if we navigate it as a table (in order to read the
different values in the different columns,) JAWS acts as though there
are no names in the name column. This only seems to be happening when
we use the label...for element to explicitly associate the label with
the checkboxes.
