Text from The U.S. Web Design Standards

Accessibility

  • Simple tables can have two levels of headers. Each header cell should have scope="col" or scope="row".
  • Complex tables are tables with more than two levels of headers. Each header should be given a unique id and each data cell should have a headers attribute with each related header cell’s id listed.
  • When adding a title to a table, include it in a <caption> tag inside of the <table> element.

Usability

When to use

  • When you need tabular information, such as statistical data.

When to consider something else

  • Depending on the type of content, consider using other presentation formats such as definition lists or hierarchical lists.

Guidance

  • Tables are great at displaying tabular data. Minimal visual styling helps surface this information more easily.
