Subject: Associating cells with headers in legislation table
No previous message | Next message →
Hello,
How to associate
- "service abc" cell to "Item 1", "Service" and "Category 1" headers?
- "$1" cell to "Item 1", "Service", "Category 1" and service abc ?
(I know that multiple rows/columns headers should be avoided and it is
always better to simplify tables however this table is about legislation
so it needs to stay as it is).
The table has
Item# Service
Fee
â---------------------------------------------------------------
Item 1 Category 1
service abc
$1
service def
$
Category 2
service ghj
$
service xyz
$
Note for Item 1 category 1
Item 2 service
$
Item 3 Category
service
$
service
$
Category
service
$
Thank you,
Rabab

You'll need to use table headers:

Take a look at the Complex and Very Complex Data table examples:

Thanks Stella for your email.
My table requires many row headers and column headers which makes me
feel confused.
Are the THs and my association understanding (especially for F and G)
correct?
<table summary="" border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<th>Item [A]</th>
<th>Column 1<br> Service, Right, Product, Privilege or Use
[B]</th>
<th>Column 2<br> Fee [C]</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>registration of establishments <br /> 1. [D] </th>
<th>(1) For the registration of an establishment, or the renewal of
an existing registration [E]<br /> <em>(association with D and
B)</em></th>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<th>(a) in the case of an establishment that receives not more than
100 000 <abbr title="hectoliter">hL</abbr> of milk per year [F]
<em>(association with D, B and E)</em></th>
<td>$895 per year [G] <em>(association with D, B, E and
C)</em></td>
</tr>
</table>
Thank you very much,
Rabab
