The new form framework is quite cool - carla, can you find out what is missing for WCAG compliance?
- Subject changed from Form: I want to create a form to Form: I want to create a WCAG conform form
What is the state of checking this?
Spoke with Björn, he doesn't see any relevance to the new Form.
I've checked today several forms made with the new Form EXT and found one critical issue on all forms...
Form elements must have labels see attached image
checked with https://www.deque.com/products/axe/ and WCAG Accessibility Audit chrome Plugins
This is the honeypot field. It is used for spam protection. We don't need it for the user. Maybe we find a solution to hide it for normal users. If the user enters data, the form is classified as spam.
But the honeypot field could also get a random label? But question would be, what does screen reader do with this field?
Okay, valid point. But now the tricky question. What would be the text (either for the label or the title attribute)? Wanna call it "Hey spammers" or "Honeypot" or "Don't fill me"? I think it is rather complicated to find an appropriate label which stops human beings from filling it out without telling the bot "c'mon this is a honeypot".
What about using aria-hidden="true" ?
