Category: XSL Group: output: HTML Status: Open Resolution: None >Priority: 3 Submitted By: Trish Billard (tbillard) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Tables: Accessibility enhancements Initial Comment: I've run across a Priority 1 requirement that doesn't seem to be supported: W3C checkpoints 5.1 and 5.2, which correspond to Section 508 1194.22 g & h. The requirements state that row and column headers shall be identified for data tables and that markup shall be used to associate data cells and header cells for data tables that have two or more logical levels of row or column headers. The HTML implementation guidelines at http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#tables suggest using: -- TH id attribute to identify each header, and TD headers attribute to associate the TD with the TH --TH scope attribute (for example, <TH scope="col">) --Both the id and the axis attributes for TH, and then the headers attribute in each TD I'm not sure you could even get the info you need to do this from the docbook markup, but perhaps implementing the TH scope attribute would be a start on meeting this requirement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Michael Smith (xmldoc) Date: 2006-04-13 20:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=118135 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=373750&aid=751569&group_id=21935 |
