    Forms WCAG

    Hi,

    I am looking at WCAG issues with one of our sites and come across some WCAG issues been generated by forms.

    Can any one suggest any way to update forms to allow WCAG (Accessibility) to work correctly.

    Hi Darren

    With Umbraco Forms, you can implement your own themes:

    https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-forms/developer/themes

    You can download the set of files for implementing Umbraco Forms from the link on that page and then you have complete control over the markup.

    so you can add your aria-label here and there, update the radiobutton list so the label wraps the input etc etc or whatever WCAG issues are being thrown up.

    When the editor inserts the Form, then they can just switch to use your new accessible template and the markup will change accordingly.

    That said, it would probably really benefit if the default implementation of forms was as WCAG compliant as possible, so the issues you have flagged could be reported on the issue tracker

    https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco.Forms.Issues/issues

    and then the might get fixed for a later release of Umbraco Forms.

    regards

    Marc

    I take a look at the theme my college built and see what I can do with that.

    I did some more searching and it says swap the ID over on the hidden and textbox.

    I am going to give this a try and see what happens.
