    We are very interested in your product. But before we make a purchase, we need to know what, if any, efforts are made to conform to 508 accessibility in conformance with 

    https://webaim.org/techniques/tables/

    The key is do you use <caption><th> tags? We assume  use of these tags enhances 508 compliance for data tables

    Hi Peter,
    Thank you for your inquire. 

    We are using Datatables library for the frontend table presentation and they claim that they are fully accessible:

    • DataTables tables are now fully accessible and controllable by keyboard navigation and suitable markup and WAI-ARIA attributes are used for screenreaders.

    Plugin render HTML tables with standard tags including <th> but we do not use <caption> tag at this moment

    For testing purpose we have sandbox website where you can see and test all plugin functionalities

    Thank you so much for your reply.  

    SiteImprove accessibility checker https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions?hl=en-US reports that wpdatatables does confirm to WCAG 2.0 Aria6 specs in using descriptive ‘aria-label’ attribute.   

    However, there are other areas of https://datatables.net/ tables   that SiteImprove flags. 

    • 'Select box' without a description

    Drop down menus (select boxes or role="listbox") should always have a description that is explicitly associated with the menu to make sure that users of assistive technologies will also know what the menu is for.

    We under a mandate to meet WCAG 2.0 accessibility.
