Table pagination

[ghost]

Can you please provide guidance on paginating through table data when a table has a large amount of rows and so the data is presented only N rows at a time? I have not been able to find any information on table navigation controls. Thank you.

Hi @cjfreedman Good question!

We won't be able to update the tutorial to address this soon.

For now you could ask the question to the WAI Interest Group discussion list. You can look through the mailing list archives, to get a feel for the list, through: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/

You can join the mailing list and post questions by following the instructions for the Discussion List under: https://www.w3.org/WAI/about/groups/waiig/#mailinglist

I would add that pagination would be a separate concept from the table markup. You could use the same pagination that you would find in a search results page, for example. The one connecting bit that you may want to do is to update the <caption> element in the table to describe what range is being shown.

<table>
 <caption>Books published in 2024 - showing 11-20</caption>
  ...
</table>
<nav aria-label="table pagination">
  ...
</nav>
