Validation
- First table validates h3 headings XHTML 1.0
- Second table validates also
JAWS 14.0.6005 and IE 10.09
- First table reads well. The h3 did not hurt or help the navigation using standard table navigation techniques.
- However the h3 headings did allow pressing "h" to go from section to section of the table, and a list of headings and proper navigation to them.
- Second table Did not read well, in that, when I navigated into the a column header all the other table headers to the left read
When I navigated into a row header the row headers above it read, which is confusing an inaccurate.
JAWS 14.0.6005 Firefox 24
- First table h3 headings reads well. The h3 did not hurt or help the navigation using standard table navigation techniques. However the h3 headings did allow pressing "h" to go from section to section of the table, and a list of headings and proper navigation to them.
- Second table. Did not read well, when I navigated into the a column header all the other table headers to the left read
When I navigated into a row header the row headers above it read, which is confusing an inaccurate.
NVDA and FF 24
- First table reads well..... the h3 did not hurt or help the navigation using standard table navigation techniques.
- However the h3 headings did allow pressing "h" to go from section to section of the table, and a list of headings and proper navigation to them.
- Second table. read well, no differece with or without scope
VoiceOver and Safari, latest versions
- First table reads well..... the h3 did not hurt or help the navigation using standard table navigation techniques.
- However the h3 headings did allow pressing "h" to go from section to section of the table, and a list of headings and proper navigation to them.
- Second table. read well, no differece with or without scope
- It should however be noted that unlike MVDA and JAWS, the two layes of headers did not read when a <td> was focused. Oly the top <th> did.
aViewer examination of API reporting
- The h3s are reported to the accessibility API
- when a cell is selected the accParent includes all data in the <tr> which is the parent
- <td> cells did not report their related <th>
- <th>cells reported a accRole of column Header which may be enough to inform AT
- the scope does not appear to change what is reported to the API, but it makes a big difference on how JAWS reads the table
- I'm still not sure whether AT is crawling the DOM or the API to read the related <th> levels, would need more testing for that...
