ARIA: table role - Accessibility
ild cells. each cell has a role of either columnheader, rowheader, or simply cell. rows can be children of the table or within a rowgroup. the table caption can be defined via aria-labelledby or aria-label. all other semantic table elements, such as <tbody>, <thead>, <tr>, <th>, and <td> need to be added via associated roles, such as rowgroup, row, columnheader, and cell. if the table contains sortable columns or rows, the aria-sort attribute should be added on the header cell element (not the table itself). if any rows or columns are hidden, the aria-colcount or aria-rowcount should be included indicating the total number of columns or rows, respectively, along with the aria-colindex or aria-rowindex on each cell. the aria-colindex or aria-rowindex is set to the position of a cell within the r...
...ute is only required if the rows are not present in the dom all the time, such as scrollable tables that reuse rows to minimize the number of dom nodes. it provides an explicit indication of the number of rows in the full table. set the value to the total number of rows in the full table. if unknown, set aria-colcount="-1". keyboard interactions none required javascript features none. for sortable columns, see the columnheader aria role. the first rule of aria use is if you can use a native feature with the semantics and behavior you require already built in, instead of re-purposing an element and adding an aria role, state or property to make it accessible, then do so. employ the html <table> element instead of the aria role of table whenever possible. examples <div role="table" aria...

ARIA: row role - Accessibility
row. for example, if a table has 1,500 rows, but only the header and rows 47 and 52 are in the dom, aria-rowindex="1" would be set on the header row, and aria-rowindex="47" and aria-rowindex="52" would be set on the 47th and 52nd row, respectively. if all the rows are present in the dom, this attribute is not necessary. keyboard interactions none required javascript features none. for sortable columns, see the columnheader aria role. the first rule of aria use is you can use a native feature with the semantics and behavior you require already built in, instead of re-purposing an element and adding an aria role, state or property to make it accessible, then do so. employ the html <table> element instead of the aria role of table whenever possible. examples <div role="table" aria-la...
