Re: Reading order of details links?

Angela,

This may not be the best idea, but what if you use scope="col" for the information the SR user will have to read. This way, the first row will be the links and the row below it would be considered as a column heading. I am trying to attack this without the use of ARIA.

If you want to use ARIA, then use aria-described by and link it to the text in the TD below the link. Once the link gets focus aria-describedby="tdId" would be read to the user.
