Actual Results
The content such as “Humboldt", “Mariposa” and “Mendocino” are marked up within data table inappropriately. As a result, screen reader users will get incorrect structure information.
Expected Results
Tables should be marked accurately. Data tables provide content in certain context. When the screen readers are informed about a table, they expect for table headers and data cells. Navigating through each cell enables them to identify and interpret tabular content.
When the table structure is unnecessarily used, screen reader users find it difficult to understand the page content.
Apply the following changes:
- Remove the data table from the source code of the mentioned content.
- Mark-up the mentioned content using definition <div>.
<div class="rlabs-table" role="group" aria-label="Business Services"> (...) </div>
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
