Layout Tables  

Your layout tables will be read from the upper-left down to the bottom-right.
Example:

Table Header
link A
link B
link C		 FSU Home Page
Current Students
Faculty & Staff
Table Footer

Most screen readers and text-only browsers will read this example as follows:

  1. Table Header
  2. Link A
  3. Link B
  4. Link C
  5. FSU Home Page
  6. Current Students
  7. Faculty & Staff
  8. Table Footer

To correct the problem, design your table like this:

Table Header
Link A FSU Home Page.
Link B Current Students
Link C Faculty & Staff
Footer

This layout will be read as follows:

  1. Table Header
  2. Link A
  3. FSU Home Page
  4. Link B
  5. Current Students
  6. Link C
  7. Faculty & Staff
  8. Footer
