Default HTML Tidy <table> lacks summary attribute - 06-13-2008 , 04:43 AM






Hi all,
is there a way to get rid of HTML-Tidy's Warning "<table> lacks summary
attribute" by editing the tidy configuration file?
I still do use tables for layout purposes if the CSS alternative isn't
working in all common browsers :-o
Thx,
Andreas

Actually, even if you are using tables for layout (shame on you!), you
might still want to use the summary attribute. For example:
<table summary="header">
<tr>
<td>One</td><td>Two</td><td>Three</td>
</tr>
</table>

The summary information might be good for you in identifying the table
in the same way that someone using <div id="header"> knows exactly where
that header is.

You could also leave it blank, if it's for decoration only, the same way
one uses alt="".
