Description Debajit Adhikary CLA 2010-03-16 19:29:09 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

For better accessibility (screen-reading) and semantics, the tables in the documentation should use correct row and column headers.

Currently the JSF documentation seems to violate clause 1.6 in IBM's Documentation Accessibility Guidelines http://www-03.ibm.com/able/guidelines/documentation/docaccformat.html#1.6

For instance, in Help Contents > JavaServer Faces Tooling Developer Guide > Programmers' Guide > JSP Expression Language Tooling, the tables could use the row header <th> instead of <td> for the table header.

Reproducible: Always

From IBM's accessibility document http://www-03.ibm.com/able/guidelines/web/webstructure.html

"Use the th element to identify table heading cells of rows and/or columns in a simple data table."
