https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24447 Bug ID: 24447 Summary: make recommendation not to use tables for layout more explicit and expand issue(s) explanation Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Hardware: PC OS: Windows NT Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML5 spec Assignee: dave.null@w3.org Reporter: faulkner.steve@gmail.com QA Contact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-admin@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org "Tables should not be used as layout aids. Historically, many Web authors have tables in HTML as a way to control their page layout making it difficult to extract tabular data from such documents. In particular, users of accessibility tools, like screen readers, are likely to find it very difficult to navigate pages with tables used for layout. If a table is to be used for layout it must be marked with the attribute role="presentation" for a user agent to properly represent the table to an assistive technology and to properly convey the intent of the author to tools that wish to extract tabular data from the document." http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/tabular-data.html#the-table-element -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
