Related to the previous message (technique 5.5.1 Check for a valid summary attribute, in response to Len's comments from [1] about 21 december version [2]), the WCAG group concluded that 5.5 applied also to the CAPTION element. Their conclusion was incorporated into the 11 February HTML Techniques for WCAG document [http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#tables]. I propose: <blockquote> Technique 5.5.2 [priority 3] Check TABLE elements for valid CAPTION element Discussion Status: under discussion Evaluation: Verify that the TABLE element should have a valid CAPTION element. Example of a message to be displayed: This TABLE does not have a CAPTION: A table caption describes the nature of the table in one to three sentences. For example, "Cups of coffee consumed by each senator." Repair Technique: Allow the author to enter a CAPTION. </blockquote> [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-er-ig/2000Jan/0059.html [2] http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/ert/ert-19991221.html -- wendy a chisholm world wide web consortium web accessibility initiative madison, wi usa tel: +1 608 663 6346 /--
