Hi Elenh! > I want to use a datatable element and render it as an HTML table > element, following some rules which provide accessibility. As you may > know accessibility rules demand a caption rendered for each HTML > table, and some attributes rendered for each cell of the table. According to http://www.ferg.org/section508/accessible_tables.html#contents_item_6.1 I found that the id=/headers= is required for accessible tables, however, they also state that screen readers may become smarter to read simple tables. >From the point of html - JSF tables are very simple - header/footer/rows - no colspan, rowspan, etc ...
So, do you really think its worth the effort? Do you have a real need for this? Regarding the caption, if this is not supported, I'll help you out, please open a JIRA at issues.apache.org/jira Ciao, Mario
