What does this mean?
People using screen readers are not able to see the layout of a form. To make forms accessible, they must define explicit text labels for each form control.
More helpUsually the best solution is to use a <label>
element. The label may be linked to
by the form control:
<label for="name">Full name</label>
<input type="name" id="name">
or the <label>
can be wrapped around the form control:
<label>
Full name <input type="name">
</label>
Buttons are different, as their labels are specified by the code for the button, e.g.
<input type="submit" value="Send message">
<button>Send message</button>
Alternatively ARIA attributes, such as aria-label
may be used, but this information
will not be conveyed to visual users. For more information, see W3C's guide to labeling controls.
Hidden input fields (<input type="hidden">
) do not require labels.
Note that the placeholder
attribute
should not be used as an alternative to a label.
