Table Captions

Difficulty: Advanced

Category:

  • Structure
  • Presentation

When a visual caption is provided that describes the content of a data table, it should be marked up as a <caption> element. The <caption> element should be the first tag within the table. This associates the caption to the data table and allows it to be identified by assistive technologies.

Example:
<table>
<caption>Fall Class Schedule</caption>
