I’m implementing a system following version 2.0 of the WCAG guidelines.
I have tabular data in the form of an editable grid this is rendered using a table. I have given the table column headings and used the scope attribute on the table cells.
Going by the WAVE tool, evey form control should have a matching label, but in the context of tabular data this seems to be a bit silly.
Does anyone know of any guidance on this?
As you stated in the comments: yes, a
titleattribute should be enough. In H65 (and maybe others) under Resources there is a link to a (very!) useful article about forms and WCAG 2 called Accessible Forms using WCAG 2.0, where they provide some examples — and tests them in some screen readers. I think the section “Form controls in data tables” in that article should be enough “proof” that thetitleattribute is enough.
