Small table accessibility improvement

I applied this patch to views.module, but it doesn't seem to have added scope="col" to the days-of-the-week table headers in the monthly calendar and mini block calendar. Is there something else I need to do to make that work?

[Update 24 June 2008. Got this done through theming.]

Adding accessibility tag & link to Group - http://groups.drupal.org/accessibility

This is still an issue in the recent D7 version of Views.

Sorry but the old patch had a total different scope ;)

Here is the new issue http://drupal.org/node/864006

With scope i mean totally different position of the table

thanks for setting up the new issue. I'm not sure any suggestions like this are going to get into D5 mind you.

i don't think that any of the d5 patches will be applied.

I think the point is:

Please create new issues for D7 rather than moving D5 issues to D7. In the new issue you can provide a link to the old issue to retain history.

In core it's not uncommon to just change the version of the issue so I assumed this would be fine. The goal however is to add more definition to provide greater context for screen readers. There's a good podcast on it here:

Understood. We find that changing issues midstream makes them difficult to follow the actual purpose, so I prefer new issues as it reduces the workload of the maintainers.

Makes sense & good to know. I'm just marking this as won't fix. It can be dealt with in D6 or D7.

I've got some questions #864006: Improve table semantics by adding scope or headers/id attributes but can deal with them there
