| Title | Validity error: caption after table heading |
|---|---|
| Description | An XHTML file that is well-formed but not valid because the caption element appears between the thead and the tbody in the table element.
It cannot be predicted how assistive technology responds to this; possibly, the caption is still read before the content of the table.
