Label not associated to input












4















Using the built in Chrome Lighthouse to run accessibility audit on a WP site showed the signup field as being invalid due to no associated label. I've run into this before and I can't understand why it doesn't think it's associated. I can get it to pass by adding an aria-label tag to the input directly but I shouldn't have to do that.



Here is a code snippet that is created from Subscribe2



<label for="s2email">Your email:</label>

<br>

<input type="text" name="email" id="s2email" value="Enter email address..." size="20" onfocus="if (this.value === 'Enter email address...') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value === '') {this.value = 'Enter email address...';}">

  • Something is missing from your example. If I copy/paste your sample into a simple page, it passes lighthouse (and axe). The <label> correctly points to the <input>. I usually see problems when the <input> has a NAME attribute but not an ID attribute. That is, the <label> points to "s3email" but the <input> has name="s2email" (which is for javascript) and doesn't have id="s2email".

  • Note also that your onfocus is pointing to a string instead of a function. That's another hint that you might have typed the code sample instead of copy/pasting the original code that has the problem. I'm assuming you don't really have an on handler pointing to a string.

  • The for/id relationship looks correct here. Can we see the actual page, to look at the whole context? Or, can you provide the exact report that the tool provided?

  • Are the IDs unique? If there are two inputs with the same ID that could cause this.

When you look at the code sample in isolation, it looks fine: it has a label explicitly associated with the input element using the for and id attributes.



However, when you inspect the site, it looks different: due to the style rule .s2_form_widget label { display: none; } the label is invisible. (You can see this when you use the Inspector in Firefox, move to the label in the DOM tree and check the associated styles.)



Note that display: none does not only hide the label visually but also for screen readers. As a result, the input element has no label from the point of view of a screen reader or another assistive technology and fails the requirement that form controls need explicit labels. (As an alternative, you might try hiding the label off-screen with a negative margin.)

A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

Image
0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{

Calculate evaluation metrics using cross_val_predict sklearn
