Other Related Success Criterion:

Rule Category Tables
Scope Element
Target Resources th and td[scope] elements
Techniques
  • Use th elements in the first row or column to identify row and column headers in a simple data tables.
  • Use headers attribute on each td element to identify header information in complex data tables.
  • Use th element for cells used as header cells in the table.
Manual Checks
  • Verify the each data cell has header cells that clearly identify the meaning of the content of the data cell.
