Unnecessary empty table header row in HTML markup
-
Hello,
Thanks for the great plugin!
May I please suggest to the developers to make sure it doesn’t output an empty
<thead>row in the DOM when there isn’t a header row present? This makes the screen reader software misleadingly announce that the upcoming table has more rows than it actually has since even an empty header row is counted as one.E.g. when NVDA screen reader encounters a 7 row table, at the beginning of it – it says:
table with 8 rows and 2 columnsand then immediately after it says
row 2 column 1possibly confusing the user as if “what happened to row 1?”
Thank you!
