To complicate this issue is that I am seeing that different AT and
browser combos are treating tables differently. As far as I can
tell, it's not related to how they're coded, necessarily. It is
becoming an issue of, I believe, screen readers trying to do some
"intelligent guessing" about whether a table is being used for
layout or data.<br>
<br>
And in my experience, it would be better if the screen readers did
not do this kind of "thinking."<br>
<br>
Perhaps others can spell out the specifics; I have not done
systematic testing, yet.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I had a very interesting situation. I was
working in Canvas and came across a list of items. Supposedly
this was a table with three columns. In Internet Explorer,
neither JAWS nor NVDA would recognize it as a table but did
read the information. Unfortunately I could not tell what
items were in which columns. Using FireFox, JAWS still did
not recognize the table, but NVDA did.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Is this a matter of the way the instructor
created the table? Is it a matter of the LMS using
non-standard code? I would like to let the instructor know
how to fix this if it is possible for him to do so.<o:p></o:p></p>
