Drupal Accessibility: Tables & WCAG Compliance
Dutch Open Projects has released the third instalment of their informative series, "Drupal, accessibility and WCAG – Part 3: Tables." This latest segment delves into the accessibility and WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) support of tables in Drupal, particularly those generated by the Views module.
With Drupal's aim to support WCAG 2.1 AA standards, the focus is on assessing the extent to which this goal is currently achievable. Leveraging the Views module in core, Drupal facilitates the creation of content overviews displayed in tables, aligning with accessibility objectives.
The article highlights the significance of contextualizing tables with appropriate names and descriptions, emphasizing the importance of meaningful input from site builders. While the HTML structure of tables is generally straightforward, attention to specific attributes is crucial for accessibility, including marking header cells and referencing relevant headers in data cells.
