Inline hints method 4: The aria-describedby attribute with role for IE

Home | Full results | Github page

In some cases, it is not possible to wrap the label around the form control or hint. The aria-describedby can be used to explicitly associate the hint with the form control using matching aria-describedby and id values.

Example

Markup

<div class="form-container">
  <label class="form-label" for="hint3">Address</label>
  <input class="form-input" id="hint3" type="text" aria-describedby="described2">
  <span class="hint" id="described2" role="tooltip">Use your full street address</span>
</div>
