caption - DOM interface API

Current

interface HTMLTableCaptionElement : HTMLElement {};

Table Usability

interface HTMLTableCaptionElement : HTMLElement {
            attribute HTMLElement header;
    readonly attribute HTMLCollection descriptions;
};

Parameters

header: The table caption
descriptions: Elements that define the table description

Idea behind

To be able to take off the description and move it inside a resulting container created from a data table.

For example, a dynamicly generated chart in a figure element. The table description is moved in the figcaption element.

Table Parser - WET 3.0 release

jQuery.data tblparser  {
    jQuery caption; // equivalent to "header"
    colcaption {
        array dataset;
        jQuery elem;
        array summaryset;
        long type;
        long uid;
    }
    jQuery description;
    jQuery elem;
    groupZero {
        // Reference to the structure attached to the table element
    }
    rowcaption {
        array dataset;
        jQuery elem;
        array summaryset;
        long type;
        long uid;
    }
    long type;
}
