Importance of Table Accessibility

HTML tables must be accessible for all users to be able to navigate and comprehend the data, including those who use assistive technology like screen readers. Important techniques include:

  • Using <th> As previously indicated, elements specify column (or row) headers and aid assistive technologies in comprehending the structure of data.
  • Putting in a <caption> Tag: When assistive technology reads aloud the contents of a table, having a title or explanation for the table is very beneficial for context.
  • Scope Attributes: By indicating whether the headers apply to columns, rows, or groups of columns or rows, the <th> tag's scope attribute helps improve the table's semantic structure.

Example of an Accessible Table:

<table>
    <caption>User Information</caption>
    <tr>
        <th scope="col">Name</th>
        <th scope="col">Email</th>
        <th scope="col">Age</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Joy</td>
        <td>johndoe@example.com</td>
        <td>30</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Jane</td>
        <td>jane@example.com</td>
        <td>25</td>
    </tr>
</table>
