I think the "simple tables" has become rather daunting, so I'm trying to break out that first example to start really simple. Would that work? ftr, I do think we need to keep the first page simple and put scope on a separate page. (which I said in the 6 June EOWG telecon, but there were more preferences to go the other way -- but maybe now seeing how complex the first page is if it includes scope, others will think differently? :-) ~Shawn > > Best, > Shadi > > > On 12.6.2014 11:35, Eric Eggert wrote: >> Hi Group, >> >> I’ve applied the structural changes we talked about in the call last >> Friday[1]. >> >> 1) Moved the example with table headers only in one column to the simple >> tables page[2]. >> 2) Explained the scope attribute on the simple tables page[3]. >> >> Then I realized (after speaking with Shadi about the changes), that the >> offset column example is the only one left in irregular tables where >> scope defines the direction of the heading, and that the other example >> define the range of the heading. >> >> So I made even more changes: >> >> 1) Moved the Offset Column example to simple tables[4] >> 2) Added an two tier table header example to the irregular tables page >> (as requested by WCAG WG)[5] >> 3) Explained on irregular tables more about the grouping using the >> <colgroup> and <tbody> elements (this is not finalized yet)[6] >> >> I’d love to hear your opinion about the changes, either via email or in >> the call this Friday. >> >> To compare old and new version, you find the old version here: >> http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/tutorials/tables/ >> >> And the new version here: >> https://w3c.github.io/wai-tutorials/tables/ >> >> More changes in the changelog: >> https://w3c.github.io/wai-tutorials/changelog/ >> >> Best, >> Eric >> >> [1] <http://www.w3.org/2014/06/06-eo-minutes.html> >> [2] >> <https://w3c.github.io/wai-tutorials/tables/simple/#table-with-header-cells-in-one-column-only> >> >> [3] <https://w3c.github.io/wai-tutorials/tables/simple/> >> [4] >> <https://w3c.github.io/wai-tutorials/tables/simple/#table-with-an-offset-column-of-header-cells> >> >> [5] >> <https://w3c.github.io/wai-tutorials/tables/irregular/#table-with-two-tier-headings> >> >> [6] <https://w3c.github.io/wai-tutorials/tables/irregular/> >> >> -- >> >> Eric Eggert, Web Accessibility Specialist >> WAI-ACT Project >> >> I’m yatil on IRC. >> >> >
