Under-Engineered Responsive Tables

• Adrian Roselli describes how to create an accessible table that scrolls horizontally on mobile. You need to put your <table> element inside a <div role="region" aria-labelledby="mycaption" tabindex="0">, where “mycaption” references the <caption id="mycaption"> that should be inside the table. The tabindex satisfies WCAG Success Criteria 2.1.1 Keyboard, and the aria-labelledby satisfies 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value. For the CSS, apply overflow: auto to the table, and don’t forget to apply a focus style.
