Considerations for developers

  • Keep it simple - not all browsers correctly expose multiple labels that are linked to the same form element.
  • Use labels for every input and make the for="" and id="" values match. IDs must be unique on each page, only one label can be associated to each unique form element. Make required fields obvious by using an indicator – asterisk, description text, etc.
  • Fields with error validation should have aria-describedby to insure that the associated field level error message is read by assistive technology. If the error message has an id="my-error-message", then the input should have aria-describedby="my-error-message".
