From http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/ > <table role="grid"> > <tr> > <td role= "columnheader">Apples</td><td role= > "columnheader">Oranges</td> > </tr> > <tr> > <td role="gridcell" aria-readonly="false">Macintosh</td><td > role="gridcell">Valencia</td> > </tr> > </table> I disagree with putting <td role="columnheader"> forward as a "best practice". HTML has had native markup for this a decade prior to ARIA: <th scope="col">, and it is exactly as stylable as <td role="columnheader">. There should be no reason to encourage authors to use the wrong native semantic fixed with ARIA in this case. Instead, using the native semantic should be shown as a "best practice". -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
