Forms

Forms Example

  1. Clearly associate form labels with their elements by placing them immediately above or to the left of the element.
  2. Design forms to have only one text entry box per line.
  3. Provide forms that can be e-mailed or downloaded then mailed. You can also provide a phone number to call for assistance.
  4. If you use graphical buttons, use ALT text to describe their function.
  5. Use the <LABEL> tag to connect the form element and its label.
  6. Check accessibility by viewing your page in multiple browsers and platforms, then verify it with tools like CAST's on-line BOBBY verification tool.
