502.3.2 Row, Column, and Headers (Section-by-Section Analysis)

This section proposes that, where a programming object is in a table, occupied rows and columns (i.e., those populated with data), as well as any headers associated with such rows or columns, must be programmatically determinable. This provision corresponds to §§ 1194.22(g) and 1194.22(h) of the existing 508 Standards. A similar requirement is set forth in WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria 1.3.1 Info and Relationships. See W3C, Understanding SC 1.3.1, Understanding WCAG 2.0 (Sept. 16, 2014), http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/content-structure-separation-programmatic.html.
