href="#description">Description</a></h2><div class="section-content"><p>An element with <code>role="table"</code> is a static tabular structure with rows containing cells. The cells are not focusable or selectable, though widgets within individual cells of the table can be interactive. Using a native HTML <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/table"><code><table></code></a> element whenever possible is strongly encouraged.</p> <div class="notecard warning"> <p><strong>Warning:</strong> If a table maintains a selection state, has two-dimensional navigation, or allows the user to rearrange cell order use <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/grid_role"><code>grid</code></a> or <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/treegrid_role"><code>treegrid</code></a> instead.</p> </div> <p>To create an ARIA table, add <code>role="table"</code> to the container element. Within that container, each row has <code>role="row"</code> set and contains child cells. Each cell has a role of either <code>columnheader</code>, <code>rowheader</code>, or <code>cell</code>. Rows can be children of the table or within a <code>rowgroup</code>.</p> <p>The table caption can be defined via <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-labelledby"><code>aria-labelledby</code></a> or <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-label"><code>aria-label</code></a>. All other semantic table elements, such as <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/tbody"><code><tbody></code></a>, <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/thead"><code><thead></code></a>, <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/tr"><code><tr></code></a>, <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/th"><code><th></code></a>, and <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/td"><code><td></code></a>, need to be added via associated roles, such as <code>rowgroup</code>, <code>row</code>, <code>columnheader</code>, and <code>cell</code>.</p> <p>If the table contains sortable columns or rows, the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-sort"><code>aria-sort</code></a> attribute should be added on the header cell element (not the table itself). If any rows or columns are hidden, the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-colcount"><code>aria-colcount</code></a> or <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-rowcount"><code>aria-rowcount</code></a> should be included indicating the total number of columns or rows, respectively, along with the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-colindex"><code>aria-colindex</code></a> or <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-rowindex"><code>aria-rowindex</code></a> on each cell. The <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-colindex"><code>aria-colindex</code></a> or <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-rowindex"><code>aria-rowindex</code></a> is set to the position of a cell within the row or column, respectively. If the table includes cells that span multiple rows or multiple columns, then <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-rowspan"><code>aria-rowspan</code></a> or <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-colspan"><code>aria-colspan</code></a> should be included as well. Realize, it is much simpler to use the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/table"><code><table></code></a> element, along with all the related semantic elements and attributes that are all supported by all assistive technologies.</p> <p>To create an interactive widget that has a tabular structure, use the <code>grid</code> pattern instead. If the interaction provides for the selection state of individual cells, if left to right and top to bottom navigation is provided, or if the user interface allows the rearranging of cell order or otherwise changing individual cell order such as through drag and drop, use <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/grid_role"><code>grid</code></a> or <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/treegrid_role"><code>treegrid</code></a> instead.</p> <div class="notecard note"> <p><strong>Note:</strong> Using a native HTML table element whenever possible is strongly encouraged.</p> </div></div></section><section aria-labelledby="associated_wai-aria_roles_states_and_properties"><h3 id="associated_wai-aria_roles_states_and_properties"><a href="#associated_wai-aria_roles_states_and_properties">Associated WAI-ARIA roles, states, and properties</a></h3><div class="section-content"><dl> <dt id="rolerowgroup"><a href="#rolerowgroup"><code>role="rowgroup"</code></a></dt> <dd> <p>An optional child of the table, the row group encapsulates a group of rows, similar to <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/thead"><code><thead></code></a>, <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/tbody"><code><tbody></code></a>, and <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/tfoot"><code><tfoot></code></a>.</p> </dd> <dt id="rolerow"><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/row_role"><code>role="row"</code></a></dt> <dd> <p>A row within the table, and optionally within a rowgroup that contains one or more cells, column headers, or row headers.</p> </dd> <dt id="aria-describedby"><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-describedby"><code>aria-describedby</code></a> attribute</dt> <dd> <p>Takes as its value the id of the element that serves as a description for the table.</p> </dd> <dt id="aria-label"><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-label"><code>aria-label</code></a> attribute</dt> <dd> <p>The <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-label"><code>aria-label</code></a> provides an accessible name for the table.</p> </dd> <dt id="aria-colcount"><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-colcount"><code>aria-colcount</code></a> attribute</dt> <dd> <p>This attribute is only required if the columns are not present in the DOM all the time.

You can add these ARIA roles to ensure accessibility should the native semantics of the table be removed, such as with CSS. A relevant use case for the ARIA table role is when CSS's display property overrides the native semantics of a table, such as by <code>display: grid</code>. In this case, you can use the ARIA table roles to re-add the semantics.</p></div></section><section aria-labelledby="added_benefits"><h3 id="added_benefits"><a href="#added_benefits">Added
