Adding captions

Adding captions

Add captions to tables with the <caption> tag. While it is not necessary for tables to be displayed properly, this element is crucial for assistive technology readers. Visual users can have a quick look at a table to decide whether it's worth taking a good look at — but this judgment requires more resources for screen reader users. When coming across a table, you need to initiate table navigation. Captions help assistive technology users decide if a table contains the required information without going in.
