Hello,
I'm trying to implement an accessible table using your Grid React component. The idea is for the users to be able to navigate the table using the keyboard if need be. Because we are a government contractor we have to make our product accessible and, testable using the Government issued tool for testing, ANDI.
When I use a normal table, I can implement scopes in the table header, either for the column or the row and thus create relationships between headers and cells as well as, use the keyboard to navigate the entire table.
When the same table is implemented with the Grid component, there are no scopes in the header then again, both header and body are separate even though they reside inside a div with role=grid on it which in turn, contains two divs, one for the header and one for the body each in turn, implementing a table: one for what would be the headers and one for what would be the body. I'm attaching screenshots even though I'm sure you know the product.
The fact that both the <thead> and the <tbody> reside in different places, even though they are within the grid, makes it impossible to add associations furthermore, we're using a data-table and the grid. I tried using different props but, as long as both the header and the body are separate, the ANDI tools can't find the table.
Question is, is there a way to make this table truly accessible just as a one created using the semantic table tags?
