Hi
Looking for a possibility to get separate tables rendered with common
column widths, I was surprised to see that this code validates:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head><title>Table test</title></head>
<body>
<table>
<!-- The first table -->
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><h2>Table 1</h2></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th id="t1_name">Name</th>
<th id="t1_info">Info</th>
<th id="t1_price">Price</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td headers="t1_name">Item name</td>
<td headers="t1_info">Some info about this item</td>
<td headers="t1_price">10.30</td>
</tr>
<!-- The second table -->
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><h2>Table 2</h2></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th id="t2_name">Name</th>
<th id="t2_info">Info</th>
<th id="t2_price">Price</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td headers="t2_name">Other item name</td>
<td headers="t2_info">Some info about this other item</td>
<td headers="t2_price">1255.80</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
So separate tables are combined in one, each starting with its own row
of <th>s. Is this ok, or are there any flaws in it, i.e. regarding
accessibility?
Thanks for a comment
