ElenaBlanc 0 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Hi,While testing the table (pls see below) in Jaws, noticed that Jaws didn't recognize the Header 2 and the cells related to this header.Do I have to treat this table as a complex table with headers and ids?Before, I was pretty sure that rowgroup and colgroup values should help improve accessibility in this kind of tables. Maybe, it is because different screen reader tools work differently.PLs advice.Thank you!<table><caption>Table's caption</caption><tr> <th scope="col">Header 1</th> <th scope="col">Header 2</th> </tr> <tr> <th scope="rowgroup" colspan="2">Header row 1</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Cell 1-1</td> <td>Cell 1-2</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="rowgroup" colspan="2">Header row 2</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Cell 2-1</td> <td>Cell 2-2</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="rowgroup" colspan="2">Header row 3</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Cell 3-1</td> <td>Cell 3-2</td> </tr></table> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
justsomeguy 1,135 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Are you saying it only read the first column? Is it because of the colspan? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
