Table Visualization - Why does it not use <th>?

[Michael N]

Hey I was curious, why does the Table Vis not use <thead> and <th> as the tags for the sortable table headers? It's certainly not a big deal, but I have a table style for the rest of the tables on my site which use the th tag and noticed the vis wasn't getting those styles.

I can't really say anything about "why", because I don't know, but we'll consider changing it. Thanks.

If you do change that, please make sure to let us know ahead of time.  I have some code that relies on the elements in the table being marked-up as they currently are; changing them to different elements will break that code and I'll need to make changes to accommodate that.  This may also affect others as well.

thanks,

That is why I assume we won't change it

Thanks for the note.

I was also wondering about this. It should be pretty trivial (but annoying) to change legacy code, but having the table use the proper HTML elements would help in creating easier to maintain style (thead, tfoot, th, etc.). 
e.g. 
#table .google-visualization-table-tr-head { color: blue }

vs

#table thead tr { color: blue }

Hello,

This is something that probably should be changed, but there have just always been other things that have taken a higher priority, especially since the table visualization isn't actually broken by this. That being said, the more we hear about things you'd like to see changed, the more likely we are to fix them!
