Building Accessible Forms

Aug 10, 2023 7 min readBy Salem Alnahdi

Accessibility (A11y) is not just a nice-to-have; it's a requirement for the modern web. Forms are one of the most critical parts of any application, and making them accessible is essential.

Key Principles

  • Labels: Always associate labels with inputs using the for attribute or by nesting.
  • Keyboard Navigation: Ensure all form controls can be reached and operated using the keyboard.
  • Error Handling: Provide clear, descriptive error messages and associate them with the corresponding input using aria-describedby.
