Editing Help/Tables (section)

===Accessibility of table header cells=== <!--T:277-->
</translate>
<translate><!--T:278--> Table header cells do not explicitly specify which table data cells they apply to (those on their right on the same row, or those below them on the same column).</translate>
<translate><!--T:279--> When the table is rendered in a visual 2D environment, this is usually easy to infer.</translate>

<translate><!--T:280--> However when tables are rendered on non-visual media, you can help the browser to determine which table header cell applies to the description of any selected cell (in order to repeat its content in some accessibility helper) using a scope="row" or scope="col" attribute on table header cells.</translate>
<translate><!--T:281--> In most cases with simple tables, you'll use scope="col" on all header cells of the first row, and scope="row" on the first cell of the following rows:</translate>
