<input> with error message using aria-describedby and title
← Return to main list
This is a test case designed to determine how an error message, associated with an <input> via the aria-describedby attribute, and with the title attribute present, are announced by various screen readers.
In this case, the aria-describedby attribute should take precedence over the title attribute as the accessible description is defined in the following order:
- If present, use
aria-describedby value (as per the "Cat" example below).
- Otherwise, if present, use
title value.
- If none of the above are provided, there is no accessible description.
Example
Code
<div>
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input
type="text"
id="name"
aria-describedby="error-message
title="Error: Use a full name"
>
<span id="error-message">Error: Make sure to include full name</span>
</div>
