getting JAWS error "undefined checkbox" with a input tag of checkbox inside of a table header tag.

Good evening. My client is getting a "undefined checkbox" when they test a page with JAWS. I work remotely and do not have access to JAWS 13. They gave me their code and I wrote a static html page but theirs is dynamic, with javascript closely resembling theirs.





Select











I would like to know if some one with JAWS could try this out and see if it gives the same error and am also wondering if one can put a input type="checkbox" inside a tag.

Thank you

I suspect you might have a lot more joy with this question on a JAWS or accessibility specific forum. DataTables does have accessibility support through ARIA attributes, but your table isn't a DataTable (missing thead, tbody) and it won't add accessibility to your HTML. You might need to add suitable LABEL tags, since you don't have any at the moment.
