Accessibility and Tables - ARIA Tags

Post by Ellis »

According to the Flare Accessibility Guide (page 22):
For HTML5 output, Flare adds ARIA attributes to new tables automatically.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me: no ARIA attributes. For example, I used <th> inside <thead> as suggested.

I assume there's something obvious I've got wrong and would be grateful for any guidance so I can get this to work as it (apparently) should.

It seems to work ok for me (Flare 2022r2).

For a <th> a <thead>, Flare adds scope="col".
And if I use a <th> inside <tbody>(instead of <td>), Flare adds scope="row".

Thanks Dave. I appreciate you taking the time to post that it works for you. I'm on the same release.

I'll have a further dig around and see if I can fix it myself before opening a ticket.
