Hi, in a table with 3 rows and 3 columns, can that table be marked up in a screen reader so you can read in the diagonal direction from one cell to another, i.e. row 1 cell 1 to row 2 cell 2? Or is it only able to move the cursor in the right-left or up-down direction?

There might be some freaky way to do that with ARIA, but no one is going to understand what's happening. Why do you want to do that?

Hi Mike,
The only directions available are vertical, up or down columns; or
horizontal left to right or vice versa.
Please don't try to think for the screenreader or their users, it would only
cause confusion. The right thing to do is use table headers whenever they
are needed to understand data and the scope attribute to specify whether a
header relates to the column or the row it heads up.
Thanks,
Bim
