§1194.22 (g) Row and column headers shall be identified for data tables.
| Month | Year | Pensacola | Milton | Crestview |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 1971-00 | 5.41 | 6.24 | 6.51 |
| Feb | 1971-00 | 4.87 | 5.04 | 4.55 |
The code for the above table is as follows:
<table>
<tr>
<th scope="col">Month</th>
<th scope="col">Year</th>
<th scope="col">Pensacola</th>
<th scope="col">Milton</th>
<th scope="col">Crestview</th>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<th scope="row">Jan</th>
<td>1971-00</td>
<td>5.41</td>
<td>6.24</td>
<td>6.51</td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<th scope="row">Feb</th>
<td>1971-00</td>
<td>4.87</td>
<td>5.04</td>
<td>4.55</td>
</tr>
</table>
The above table speaks properly with a screen reader and satisfies section 508 §1194.22(g) and WCAG Checkpoint 5.1. The th elements identify the row and column headers as required by Section 508 Standards for web accessibility and WCAG 1.0 checkpoints, and it also meets WCAG 2.0 Success Criterion 1.3.1 because it is possible to programmatically recognize the cells that are marked as headers.
