Data tables

TBL_A1i:

Are tables used correctly (i.e. empty tables have not been used)?

TBL_A1ii:

Are tables used correctly (i.e. excessive nesting of tables is avoided)?

TBL_A2i:

Are all simple data tables coded with header (TH) cells?

TBL_A2ii:

Do all data table header (TH) cells contain content (i.e. are not empty)?

TBL_A2iii:

Are all data table header (TH) cells descriptive?

TBL_A3i:

Are all data tables coded with a SUMMARY attribute?

TBL_A3ii:

Is the data table SUMMARY attribute descriptive (i.e. the SUMMARY attribute should summarise the content of the data table)?

TBL_A4i:

Are all data tables coded with a CAPTION element?

TBL_A4ii:

Is the data table CAPTION descriptive (i.e. the CAPTION element should name the data table)?

TBL_A4iii:

Is the data table CAPTION different to the SUMMARY (i.e. they are not the same)?

TBL_A5:

Do all rows in the data table contain information (i.e. there should be no empty rows)?

TBL_A6:

Are complex data tables coded with TH ID and TD HEADERS?

TBL_A7:

Are complex data tables supported by additional explanatory information in the page content?

TBL_A8:

Is supplementary formatting or information provided in addition to colour and/or shape and/or shading?

Layout tables

TBL_A9i:

Is the layout table used correctly (i.e. MathML is used to present equations not a table)?

TBL_A9ii:

Is the layout table used correctly (i.e. contains more than one cell)?

TBL_A10i:

Is the layout table coded correctly (i.e. does not have a SUMMARY attribute)?

TBL_A10ii:

Is the layout table coded correctly (i.e. does not have a CAPTION element)?

TBL_A10iii:

Is the layout table coded correctly (i.e. does not have table headers: TH)?

TBL_A11:

If the layout table is used to present textual content does it have meaningful sequence?

TBL_AA1:

Is colour contrast within table content sufficient?
