Headers property

The Headers property is one of the accessibility properties designed to make reports accessible to the disabled community when output to HTML or PDF. This property cross-references the ID of the column heading for a particular cell in a table. It is used with the ID property to specify the headings associated with each data cell in a table. With assistive utilities, the column heading can be displayed in a popup or read by a screen reader when the cursor passes over a table cell in report output.
