| Title | Table structure does not help understanding of text and translation |
|---|---|
| Description | This is a test case the sequence in which content can be arranged in a page. In this test, an excerpt from Shakespeare's Henry V and its German translation are juxtaposed in a table, and each speech is in a separate table cell, so that the sequence is: English speech, German translation, English speech, German translation, etcetera. However, the CSS stylesheet switches the English text and the German translation, but not the column headings. (In a browser with good CSS support, the columns with the text and translation are transposed. In Internet Explorer 6 and earlier, this effect does not work as intended.) |

This test case is intended to fail because the stylesheet mixes up the sequence of the content.
End user.
“Rules” refer to success criteria in WCAG 2.0, checkpoints in WCAG 1.0 and similar requirements.
The test case fails the following success criterion at line 17, column 3: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-WCAG20-20060427/guidelines.html#content-structure-separation-sequence.
The test case fails the following success criterion at line 18, column 3: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-WCAG20-20060427/guidelines.html#content-structure-separation-sequence.
The sequence in which the content is arranged visually is not meaningful. (The test case needs further testing.)
The sequence of content (XHTML) can be programatically determined, but the CSS mixes up the sequence.
