Hello all, I hope you can assist. On our website we have some tables that contain information on committee member names and their roles, so for example: Committee members Chair Mr A* Treasurer Mrs Y Ordinary member Mr C Ordinary member Mr G Ordinary member Ms P In this case, the title is a h2 and each role in the left-hand cell carries the <th scope> value. To all intents and purposes, we have treated it as a data table, but is it a layout table because the information could be presented in linear fashion another way? And if so, should it have a role="presentation" value in it? I feel this is a bit of a grey area between the two and would appreciate your thoughts. It reads out fine in NVDA so I don't think it's an issue, but wanted to make sure we were accounting for our tables correctly!
