Description Jason Kiss 2015-03-23 02:22:47 UTC
Td: states "No corresponding role"
ARIA gridcell? http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#gridcell

tfoot and tbody and thead: states "No corresponding role"
ARIA rowgroup? http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#rowgroup

Th (is a column header): states "No corresponding role"
ARIA columnheader? http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#columnheader

Th (is a row header): states "No corresponding role"
ARIA rowheader? http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#rowheader

Tr: states "No corresponding role"
ARIA row? http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#row

Just a suggestion, but the above table mappings might be helpful when role=table is introduced.

(In reply to Jason Kiss from comment #0)

Will map TR to row, and TH to columnheader and rowheader as appropriate.

Will also map TBODY and TFOOT to rowgroup, but not THEAD for the time being since UIA has control type Header that is specifically for "for the labels for rows or columns of information" [1].

A decision has been made to not create table or cell roles, but instead to map TABLE to role="grid" with a new property, aria-interactive="false" [2].

I'm assuming that we can then map TD to gridcell with its interactivity inherited from aria-interactive on the container.
