| Title | Validity error: caption after table body |
|---|---|
| Description | An XHTML file that is well-formed but not valid because the caption element appears as the last element in the table element instead of the first element.
It is not clear how assistive technology responds to this; possibly, the caption is still read before the content of the table.
