SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 - Generated HTML - Standards Compliance

Question

Looking for guidance as to the standards compliance of the generated html by reporting services e.g. XHTML, CSS, WCAG etc

Answer 1

Not even close

Answer 2

To be a bit more specific, I looked at:

• H39: Using caption elements to associate data table captions with data tables;
• H43: Using id and headers attributes to associate data cells with header cells in data tables;
• H63: Using the scope attribute to associate header cells and data cells in data tables.

None of these seem to be followed by Reporting Services, at least for version 2008, which I checked against.

I posted a suggestion on Microsoft Connect to provide an HTML rendering extension that complies with WCAG 2.0. Please up-vote there if you like to challenge Microsoft to do something about this.
