Stick to Basic Table Elements
When using a table strictly for layout, use only the minimal table elements:
-
table
Use to establish the table
-
tr
Use for table rows
-
td
Use for table cells
Captions, table headers, row groups, and all features for improving table accessibility as listed in the previous section should be avoided. They will only serve to confuse or slow down readers with assistive devices.
