Subject: Re: [WebAIM] Using ARIA grids

Hello,
Look at:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://vaadin.com/components/vaadin-grid/html-examples__;!!GqivPVa7Brio!I_ZT1n3f_TDy_W2alsVkr1S1vVWt81dDI9jDCJpbd3wLqc4ZhLB1qcJELnWXgUU$
Their grid allows both table key command navigation as well as cursor navigation through the cells. I believe their table also scrolls.
Thank you,

Brandon Keith Biggs <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://brandonkeithbiggs.com/__;!!GqivPVa7Brio!I_ZT1n3f_TDy_W2alsVkr1S1vVWt81dDI9jDCJpbd3wLqc4ZhLB1qcJE7U9TjKE$ >
