Writing Accessible Treegrid Labels
Writing Accessible Treegrid Labels records a distinct W3C-supported interface-content task while keeping implementation mechanics outside the writing guidance.
Give a treegrid a concise label that identifies the hierarchical data set or task it contains.

Important caveats
Scope Boundary
This page covers the treegrid container’s name; cell content, row labels, and an optional longer description are separate content tasks.
Further guidance
Content
Write the treegrid label to distinguish the widget as a whole from other grids, tables, or regions on the page.
Purpose
Clear wording helps assistive-technology users understand the component or content in context without relying on implementation details.
