Bring on the tables | 456 Berea Street
"When tables are used to mark up actual data, they aren’t just a layout grid. Sighted people can get a feel for the relationship between header and data cells by looking at the layout and visual presentation of the table. Blind or severly vision impaired people can’t do that. For a table to be accessible to people using a screen reader or some other non-visual user agent, it needs to tell the user agent how the information it contains is related.
Fortunately, HTML provides plenty of elements and attributes for that. Less fortunate is the fact that it can be pretty difficult to understand how to use some of these accessibility features. In this article, I’ll try to explain how most of them can be used."
