  seeessess,

  re: "So how does a blind person understand data in a bunch or random divs?"

  I just downloaded a screen reader and my div rows are being read in the same as the tabular data i recreated to mimic div rows.

  so i guess everyone can say you need tables for tabular data, but experience shows there is no difference to a table and a proper div array recreating a table appearance when read back by the screen reader.

  I found the following to be true. "Here is a simple rule of thumb to follow: Screen readers always read the text in the literal order that it appears in the code..."
