Validation

Considerations for developers ​

• Identify the field name in the error message.
• Associate errors with their corresponding form field using the aria-describedby attribute.
• Use live regions to communicate dynamically appearing error messages to assistive technology.

Refer to Form for the recommendations on how to make the form accessible.

Keyboard support ​

See detailed information about the keyboard support for the all form elements in the Keyboard control guide.

Considerations for designers ​

• Use text or an icon with alternative text, not just color, to indicate errors. Use the word "Error" or an error icon with alternative text.
• Provide suggestions for how to correct the error when known.
