"Table summary"

[Luigi Donatello Asero]

Hi,
I tried to make a table summary. I did it in Swedish because the page is in
Swedish.

How important is a table summary? Should I have a table summary in all the
tables?

From the accessibility viewpoint, it is a very important feature and so
you should include a summary in any table you create. Of course if you are
using tables for layout then you wouldn't use a summary, but then you
would also be a very bad person

If you must use a table for layout you can put that in the summary:
<table summary="Layout">

This lets the visitor using adaptive technology know that they shouldn't
expect any tabulated information.

Hello Dylan,
I know that a general rule says that one should use CSS for the layout
rather than tables but I could get better results combining CSS and tables
on that page,
to have a navigator menu which is made of buttons which change colour. As
far as I remember I previosly tried to do it only by CSS but I could not.

Ok.
