Accessibility Statement: Why Isn't the Redwood Table Component Included in the Page List of Tables?

Summary:

The Redwood table component (oj-table) announces itself as a table but is not included in the page list of tables by screen reader assistive technologies.

Interoperability tests revealed inconsistencies when oj-table’s role was set to “table” or “grid.” For instance, when tabular data exceeded the available viewport, tabular content could not be navigated properly, revealing a barrier for screen reader users.

The role of “application” was chosen as a workaround to ensure a screen reader user can access all tabular data without compromising table functionality.

Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

The role of “application” solution enables a screen reader user to access all tabular data without sacrificing table functionality.
