I've attempted an accessible HTML table presentation. I know I should
be working on other things (chiefly my self-evaluation to turn in to
my supervisor tomorrow), but it was interesting to learn more about
accessibility with regard to table design. Note that I didn't bother
to make it accessible to the sighted:

If you could run the three options that I came up with by Dark, we
could do some fine tuning (or start over if it's complete rubbish).


Luke has just mailed me, apologising for his unanticipated absence.

Regarding the table, he says: "The first two tables appeared basically the same from my point of view, so that was okay. My only real comment is that it would be handy to be able to tab to the rolled number then look down the table, as pressing curser down that many times each roll of combat could get a bit tedius.

"As to the tabbing, in Ie, Tab goes betwene links. It doesn't matter if the links go anywhere, or even just further down the page, but if the link is there it can be tabbed to.

"Another option (though this would probably mean restructurering the table) might be to have the rolls first then the combat ratio down the side. So -11, with the scores for rolls 1-0, then minus 10/9 with the rolls and so on.

"This would mean less tabs, and would also mean that the person reading it could plonk their curser in one set of figures while they made the roll, and would only have to move up or down maximum of 10.

"Sorry about complaining, I'm pleased that so much is being done accessability wise with Project.aon."

As I'm not au fait with webpage coding, I'm not really sure what he's talking about with the TABs, so I hope this means something to you, Jon. :-\
