Accessibility Warning Showing on Field

Advice Regarding Specific Fields

Enhanced User Interface

The Enhanced User Interface is not accessible for screen reader users and people who cannot use a mouse because the field is removed from the tab order on the page.

Multiselect

The Multiselect field is difficult for people using assistive technology like a screen reader or voice recognition software, as they are not able to properly select multiple options. The better choice is using checkboxes.

A warning will be displayed in the Form Editor when Field Label Visibility is marked as hidden.

Google reCAPTCHA V2

The Google Support website has a page is dedicated to the accessibility of reCAPTCHA V2 through the use of an audio challenge. The can present other challenges for your visitors though.


Firstly, this is not an option for deafblind users. Secondly, reCAPTCHA only offers an English audio challenge and expects an English answer to it, which makes it harder for non-native English speakers to understand the challenge or increases the likelihood of typing the answer with a spelling mistake.


There is also a cognitive and cultural accessibility issue. Not everyone understands the visual challenges.

If you have a form that is vital for your visitor to fill out, don’t put the burden of proving they are human on them.


Datepicker

The date field provides the option of displaying a datepicker, but note this datepicker is not keyboard or screen reader accessible at the moment. Therefore we provide an accessible alternative of having the date input fields be text only.


Hints on what the exact date format your field expects is given by placeholders and by additional text, connected to the input field with aria-describedby. Then the date format is announced and visible.


Submit/Next Page Button

The presentation of the submit (and next page) buttons can be controlled by conditional logic.


Completely hiding the submit button can have a negative impact on the accessibility of a form.


Additionally, using an image for the submit button will also generate an accessibility warning due to their incompatibility with screen readers.
