Detailed support results by expectation

Expectation for the scope attribute: convey the header as a row header if the scope is set to "row" - applied to the th element

This expectation is applied to the th element. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the scope attribute feature.

Rationale:

The user needs to be able to determine what headers a cell belongs to.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the table element: convey its role

This expectation is from the table element feature.

Rationale:

A user needs to be aware that they are navigating a table.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might announce an element as something like "<name>, <role>"
A screen reader might imply the role by the presence of certain context roles
Voice Control software might let the user say something like "click, <role>".
Voice Control software might let the user say something like "show numbers", and interactive roles will be flagged with numbers.

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the table element: convey the boundaries of the table

This expectation is from the table element feature.

Rationale:

A user needs to know when they enter and exit an element

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might announce the role of the element when entering and say something like "leaving" when exiting.
A screen reader might not explicitly announce entering and existing the element, but instead imply that the is in the containing object by conveying the roles of required children (options in a listbox for example).
A screen reader might announce position in set information such as "1 of 6".
A screen reader might not convey boundaries if the content fits on a single line

Grading method:

All of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the td element: convey its role

This expectation is from the td element feature.

Rationale:

A table can only contain cells of information, so the role is usually implied.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MAY
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might announce an element as something like "<name>, <role>"
A screen reader might imply the role by the presence of certain context roles
Voice Control software might let the user say something like "click, <role>".
Voice Control software might let the user say something like "show numbers", and interactive roles will be flagged with numbers.

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the td element: convey the position of the header (row/column)

This expectation is from the td element feature.

Rationale:

A user needs to be able to determine where they are while navigating a table.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the th element: convey its role

This expectation is from the th element feature.

Rationale:

A user needs to be able to determine what headers apply to a given cell.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Examples:

A screen reader might announce an element as something like "<name>, <role>"
A screen reader might imply the role by the presence of certain context roles
Voice Control software might let the user say something like "click, <role>".
Voice Control software might let the user say something like "show numbers", and interactive roles will be flagged with numbers.

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the th element: convey the position of the header (row/column)

This expectation is from the th element feature.

Rationale:

A user needs to be able to determine where they are while navigating a table.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.
