Re: JQuery Table Accessibility Difference Between Desktop and Phone Rendering

Most likely, the table becomes "responsive" on the mobile device which means alternate CSS is applied and columns might be hidden using CSS/Javascript. For some reason, approaches to responsive mobile tables tend to break the ability of a screen reader to use the table. I think when some of my team members worked on this type of issue, we ended up having to provide a way for a screen reader user to end up with a regular non-responsive table.

Thanks,
