Line 342:
"Old screen readers and user agents that do not conform to UAAG do not handle rowspan / colspan efficiently. The result can be very confusing for users of these technologies." - this seems to imply that user agents that ''do'' conform to UAAG don't have problems with rowspan/colspan. Since I don't think any user agent fully conforms to UAAG, what are we saying? This opinion is reflected in Wikipedia already ([[Web Accessibility Initiative#User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG)]]). For example, I believe that Lynx conforms to UAAG as much as IE8 does, yet the rowspan vs empty cell problem demonstrably exists with Lynx. You may need to distinguish between graphical browsers and text-only browsers to give meaningful advice. --[[User:RexxS|RexxS]] ([[User talk:RexxS|talk]]) 22:42, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
== Layout for wikitable row headers ==
This is a reminder about the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki_talk:Common.css&oldid=384010513#some_wikitable_ideas request on MediaWiki talk:Common.css to improve the default layout]. It is definitely a good idea that should be adopted somehow. How do we gather consensus? Should we make a request for comment or something?
Note that I implemented this suggestion on the french Wikipedia the 22th of August, following Jack Marridev's good proposal. Regards, [[User:Dodoïste|Dodoïste]] ([[User talk:Dodoïste|talk]]) 22:04, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
