Link table cells to headers using IDs

In complex tables with multi-level headers, explicit header-to-cell linking ensures screen readers accurately announce the relationship between data and its context.

Quick Reference

• Use the headers attribute for complex tables where scope isn't enough
• Ensure the headers attribute references valid id values of <th> elements
• Separate multiple header IDs with spaces

Check

Verify that td headers attributes reference valid and existing th IDs.

Fix

Correct the headers attribute to reference the appropriate th IDs.
