Accessibility: Tables

 

Accessibility

 

Tables

What:

  • Structures that organize information into rows and columns.

Why:

  • Well-designed tables help users understand and compare information easily and ensure compatibility with screen readers.

Best Practices:

  • Keep table structures simple and avoid merging cells unnecessarily.
  • Use clear header rows and columns, highlighted with bold text or distinct formatting.
  • Add concise captions summarizing the table's purpose.
  • Ensure a logical reading order from left to right and top to bottom.
