Synopsis

HEADERS=”cellIDList"

Optional

Points to one or more TH or TD elements that act as column or row headers for the current table cell. The assigned value is a space-delimited list of ID attribute values that are assigned to the relevant TH elements. A nonvisual browser could read the cell’s header before the content of the cell to help listeners identify the nature of the cell content.

Example

<TH id="hdr1">Product Number
<TH id="hdr2">Description
</TR>
<TR>
<TH headers="hdr1">0392
<TH headers="hdr2">Round widget
</TR>

A space-delimited list of case-sensitive IDs assigned to cells that act as headers to the current cell.
