Accessible tables
Hi,
I'd like a little guidance please. I'm creating a long (multiple-row) table, consisting of two colums as part of an epub. The table gives a code and a decode, like this:
Number Weather
00 Dry
01 Wet
02 Sunny
and so on.
I'm confused as the the best way to add accessibility to this. If I do this
<th id="code">
Code
</th>
<th id="weather">
Weather.
</th>
Then I'd want a screen-reader to read out
"Code..00, Weather Dry"
"Code..01, Weather Wet"
I'm using "id" for the table rows, so that, if I hyperlinked from another page to any specific code e.g.code 15, the result would be "code 15 weather snowy"
Does this work?
<tr id="00">
<td scope="row" headers="code" >
00.
</td>
<td headers="weather">
Dry.
</td>
</tr>
The use of "scope" is to try to link the number with the weather type, but I'm not sure that will work. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
