Bug 179780 – AX: VoiceOver in Safari does not read table header for first cell in first body row

• Component: Accessibility
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[chris fleizach]

Summary: When using VoiceOver in Safari to read a HTML table, the column header (th) is not read for the first cell in the first row


Steps to Reproduce: Given this HTML markup: 
<table>
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>Morning</th>
        <th>Afternoon</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td>Free</td>
        <td>Busy</td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>

* Turn VoiceOver on
* Swipe to each item in the table


Expected Results:
VoiceOver should read:
* "Morning. Row One. Column 1. Column Start. Two Columns." 
* "Afternoon. Column 2."
* "Morning, Free. Row Two. Column 1."
* "Afternoon, Busy. Table End."

Actual Results:
VoiceOver reads:
* "Morning. Row One. Column 1. Column Start. Two Columns." 
* "Afternoon. Column 2."
* "Free. Row Two. Column 1."
* "Afternoon, Busy. Table End."

Version/Build:
iOS 11.0
