http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13137 --- Comment #3 from Joshue O Connor <joshue.oconnor@cfit.ie> 2011-12-01 08:55:11 UTC --- (In reply to comment #2) [...] > Rationale: I don't understand the example, nor why one would need ARIA here. To complete the example you need to add: <table aria-describedby="inline_desc"> <caption>Characteristics with positive and negative sides</caption> <thead> [...] To the table, which will create a programatic association with the description contained in the <p>. I hope this is clearer. The reason an example of how ARIA can be used to describe a table should be included in the HTML5 spec, is because it is a new method of making tables more accessible and ARIA is now a full citizen of HTML5. I hope this is clearer. <code> <p>Let us look at both the positive and negative aspects of mood. <span id=”inline_desc”>In the following table, characteristics are given in the second column, with the negative side in the left column and the positive side in the right column</span>. This will help to give an overview of both positve and negative expressions of mood.</p> -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
