Alex, I actually don't like the idea of described by relations for table headers. It's non-standard, and it blurs the line between the table interface and relations. In my mind, they have separate purposes.
Thanks, RG -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alexander Surkov Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 10:27 AM To: IA2 List Subject: Re: [Accessibility-ia2] rowHeader/columnHeader implementationproposal One more question. Since described_by/description_for relations are exposed on cells and header cells both, i.e. multiple described_by relations should be exposed on cell to link it with row and column header cells, then how much does this overlap with idea of IAccessibleTable for headers? I mean when does AT need to have header table taking into account they can get some information from relations? Idea when AT might need header table was there might exist tables where relation targets order (which corresponds to DOM hierarchy) doesn't satisfy to AT needs. James Teh suggested to consider the following example <table> <tr> <th>Product</th><th>Bugs fixed</th> </tr> <tr> <th colspan="2">2008</th> </tr> <tr> <td>NVDA</td><td>50</td> </tr> <tr> <th colspan="2">2009</th> </tr> <tr> <td>NVDA</td><td>30</td> </tr> </table> Possibly relations might be not very helpful here. But what kind of column header table do we expect here? Alex.
