OpenAI has announced it’s launched a new browser, Atlas, with ChatGPT built in. For those familiar with ARIA, OpenAI outlines what to expect (I left the code as I found it, other than removing the target): We’ll continue to make Atlas better, and our roadmap includes multi-profile support, improved developer…
Abstract for my session Talkin’ Tables, which I presented in place of another speaker who had to back out the day before: This session will walk through the basics of how to construct an HTML table. More than basic structure, it will talk about support and how it is exposed…
Animated example First, let’s define caret. For the scope of this post, I am not talking about the ^ symbol, which evolved from the circumflex. I’m also not talking about the proofreader mark, sometimes rendered as ‸, ⁁, or ⎀. I am talking about the navigation symbol (or insertion caret),…
Every few months there’s another State of Something survey. As of this week, the State of CSS 2025 survey results have just become available and the State of HTML 2025 survey is wrapping up. This post is skewed to those, touches on more, and is rather disjointed. “2012 Oregon City…

TL;DR: Unless you have user testing results saying otherwise, maybe put a check-all checkbox outside the table. The rest of this post is an awkward mash-up of my posts Don’t Turn a Table into an ARIA Grid Just for a Clickable Row and Check-All / Expand-All Controls with a little…
