Hi, Thanks for your email and support.
This is exactly what I tried first, and it works wonders on all the pages except the one in question. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to share the web address of the page I am having trouble with. The page in question is on our companies intranet, it requires authorized access, hence the limitation in sharing the URL. So far I have been using sighted help in my office to get my job accomplished on that page, which needs to be done once every month. We call it the time sheet entry, some kind of billing tool to keep record of man hours allocated to a project. I think using the jaws cursor also helps to a certain extent. I am not saying that I can't do the job at all, but would have preffered if JAWS could announce the column headings, in this case they contain the day of the week and the date for each column in the row below we need to fill out 9 hours, hard to tell if that day was a company off, if you dont get the date announced.

In Internet Explorer or Firefox, press Insert + v for the Quick Settings dialog. Type in the word "table" into the search box. Now arrow down to "Table Titles", and hit the Enter key. Press Space to change this value. The default is to read only properly labeled titles coded into the HTML of the webpage. If you select rows and columns, it will announce the first row and column as the titles. Hit the Enter key again to save the new setting. *Don Marang* Vinux Package Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org <http://www.vinuxproject.org/> On 11/26/2012 10:28 PM, Mujtaba Merchant wrote: > Hello, > > > > I write to seek your assistance on this issue I am trying to resolve.
