Re: Angular tables and accessibility

The thing is that the <ngx-datatable> elements render as <ngx-datatable> elements and that these appear to screen reader users as tables without contents and/or tables lacking basic markup. So I am curious to know whether role=”presentation” will work and have the desired/any effect on <ngx-datatable> elements ...

Venligst/Kind regards

If the Angular table elements don't render as a data table you
shouldn't need role="presentation" (and a screen reader will not
present a table with no th cells or caption as a table)
But it doesn't hurt to put it there, just in caase.
