Yes, tables can be made accessible by adding a few identification attributes. In order to make a table accessible follow these guidelines:
- Use the "caption" element to associate the table title with the table itself and use the "summary" attribute of the table element to describe the overall structure of a table.
- Use the table header element, "th", to indicate cells with header information.
- For tables whose structure is more than just simple column and row headers use the id attribute on all header cells and use the headers attribute on data cells to indicate heading information that applies to each cell.
Please see the Tables tutorial for more information on working with tables.
