Have you ever used a screen reader when it encounters a table? in no way, shape or form is that usable. Accessible? yes. Usable? no. This is the tipping point where accessibility and usability hug and go their separate ways, abandoning common sense as a common enemy. The OP was concerned with accessibility of a table for disabled users, but making it accessible only creates a worse UX (for a disabled user). It's like strapping a stick to your head and trying to play Tekken with a Rock Band drum set. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
