Re: Heading inside Caption - all good?

Welcome Louise, yes it seems pretty nice to me too : )


I am hoping I have not missed something and that this is a good technique, that I was just not aware of.

?

Regards, Alan

Subject: Heading inside Caption - all good?

?Hi,

With the Content Model in HTML5 for the CAPTION tag being Flow content (which includes H1 - H6), I am proposing to title TABLES as follows:...

<table>
<caption><h4>Cat food preferences</h4></caption> ...
</table>

...rather than a H# tag above the TABLE and a CAPTION inside it (often with somewhat duplicated/similar text).

Audio AT users previewing the main areas of a page will then hear a TABLE announced (due to the presence of the H# tag), and there is a programmatic relationship between title text and the TABLE due to the use of CAPTION.

If you know of any negative impact to the use of H# inside CAPTION I would be interested to hear. Thanks.

Cheers,

Alan
