Subject: Data Tables in Higher Ed
No previous message | Next message →
Data Tables on the Web are the bane of my existence at the moment.
Spreadsheets and charts and so many reports and tables that "must" be put
on the Web.
The simple ones can be created and made accessible from within our
WordPress WYSIWYG editor, but the more complicated ones need HTML expertise
and even then, some are structured so that I'm not sure that the
relationships can be made clear.
Does anyone have any suggestions or resources on teaching people how to
create tables that can be made accessible easily?
I'd be most grateful for any thoughts.
Thanks,
Pam Riesmeyer

Hi:
I can provide you with the source code of a page I use for demos. The page has five tables that are all WCAG 2.0 AA compliant and work with JAWS. If interested just let me know.

This is very useful James!
One question, what is the difference between tables 4 and 5? I don't see a difference.
Table with markup and full scope and Table with proper header and scope
Thanks,

One question, what is the difference between tables 4 and 5? I don't see a difference.
Table with markup and full scope and Table with proper header and scope

Hi:
Here is the difference, and you owe me a lunch break:
In #5, the first cell of the row is considered a header:

The Government of Canada is putting together an impressive Web Experience Toolkit (WET). One of the features I came across is their "HTML Table Validator".
http://wet-boew.github.com/wet-boew/demos/tableparser/validator-htmltable.html
As long as you have correctly identified table heading cells (TH), the script will figure out the relationships and assign IDs and HEADERs correctly. You can then copy and paste the generated code. It's like magic, only better, because it's real.
Background information, related WCAG references, examples, etc., are available at

Well, I may have to owe you two because I still don't see a difference. Here is that cell in table 4:
<th scope="row">2011-10-19</th>
And this the same cell in table 5:
<th scope="row">2011-10-19</th>
Am I missing something? Is it possible that I may not understand what you are saying?

Hi:
Here is the difference, and you owe me a lunch break:
In #5, the first cell of the row is considered a header:
<th scope="row">2011-10-19</th>
<td>English</td>
<td>$900.00</td>
<td>Ottawa</td>
<td>Classroom</td>
