foreverhex Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Im not really sure why you would use it other than to seperate your tr and td tags. That way you can have a class tag in just a sertain area. I don't use them at all though.

It's accessible in the sense that it makes tables more comprehensible to screen readers, i.e. vision-impaired users. I'm hard pressed to see how that could be a problem.
