Alex, I'm not following this question about accessible trees. Please provide more detail.
Row/column headers are aren't children of the table, they are part of the table (usually the first row/col), but when the IA2 call is made to get the headers a table would have to be generated dynamically (or kept separately and provided as needed). I don't think you can implement row/column descriptions with HTML, but I assume you could with WAI-ARIA using a relation. Pete Alexander Surkov wrote: > Hi, Pete. > > 1.
