Validation messages - 0 views

  • If there are any validation messages, the focus is set to the first invalid input: this way, a screen reader will immediately announce the associated message, so the user knows that there is at least one invalid input to be fixed.
  • For multiple radio buttons or checkboxes, the message is associated to the surrounding <fieldset>.
  • In addition to this, each invalid input is associated to its message using aria-describedby. This is important, as it makes sure that screen readers also announce the messages when navigating through the inputs using the Tab key.
  •  
    "Data submitted in a form is usually validated in some way. And if there is any unacceptable data, the form is traditionally re-displayed, together with validation messages. In such a case, it is important to immediately inform screen reader users, so they know that they have to look at their data and submit again. "
