Tables should be used to mark up truly tabular information not to layout pages Tables also present special problems to users of screen readers They dont read side by side text well, therefore provide an alternative that presents text linearly.
	Some user agents allow users to navigate among table cells and access header and other table cell information. Unless marked-up properly, these tables will not provide user agents with the appropriate information. This is of particular importance to those who use screenreview and screen magnification software.
