  • le contenu linéarisé reste compréhensible
  • la balise table possède un attribut role="presentation"

Level

A

Technical description

Scope

Page

Decision level

Semi-Decidable

Algorithm

Selection

Set1 (table tags identified as complex table from html markers)

All the <table> tags with an "id" attribute or a "class" attribute or a "role" attribute that matches one of the values set by the user through the "PRESENTATION_TABLE_MARKER" parameter.

Set2 (table tags not identified as complex table from html markers)

All the <table> tags that don't have an "id" attribute or a "class" attribute or a "role" attribute that matches one the values set by the user through the "PRESENTATION_TABLE_MARKER" parameter or the "DATA_TABLE_MARKER" parameter or the "COMPLEX_TABLE_MARKER" parameter. That means select all the <table> tags of the page when these parameters are empty.

Process

Test1

For each element of Set1, raise a MessageA.

Test2

For each element of Set1, test whether the "role" attribute is present with a value equals to "presentation".

For each element returning true in Test2, raise a MessageB.

Test3

For each element of Set2, raise a MessageC.

Test4

For each element of Set2, test whether the "role" attribute is present with a value equals to "presentation".

For each element returning true in Test4, raise a MessageD, raise a MessageE instead.

Analysis

Not Applicable

The page has no <table> tags or only tables identifed as data or complex tables (Set1 AND Set2 are empty)

Failed

The "role" attribute with the "presentation" value is missing on at least one presentation table (Test2 returns false for at least one element)

Pre-qualified

In all other cases
