Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Thanks for this report. What version of SonarQube or SonarLint are you running? Or are you seeing this in SonarCloud?

 
Thx,
Ann

Hi,

A lot gets updated from version to version. Can you see if this is still replicable once you’ve upgraded and let us know?

 
Thx,

I shall, once my virtual desk is less swamped! I checked another environment which is running vs 10 it still has wrong rules concerning the <th> element. Now the element is no longer required, but the scope and id are, which is untrue. it is true for the <header> element. Which RFC from the W3C are you using???

Hi,

I don’t know. And I believe some of these rules were implemented a long time ago.

Could you provide a code snippet / reproducer for this, please? Because it’s not clear to me what you mean.

I assume scope and id are attributes, but of which tag?

The snippet I used at the beginning.

You need help with the HTML rule set?

Hi,

I’m confused. The snippet you used at the beginning demonstrated a lack of <th> tags.

When you don’t have scope and id attributes, issues are erroneously raised where in that snippet?
