Does a button with a value really need a matching label tag in order to be 508 compliant?
Say I have:
<label for="search_box" class="hideme">search query</label>
<input type="text" id="search_box">
<input type="button" id="search" value="Search">
The web accessibility testing software is flagging it since it has an id but no matching label? Is it really necessary?
A <label> is not needed for <input type="button">, you need to provide a value attribute. If the button is using an image versus text, you need to provide an alt to be compliant.
<input type="button" src="....jpg" alt="Search" id="...">

I'm currently implementing accessibility website to meet the Level AA Conformance
One of the things that I do not meet the correct labeling of the elements on the forms.
Currently my HTML structure is this:
<label for="edit-title">Text</label>
<div class="views-widget">
<div class="form-item" id="edit-title-wrapper">
<input type="text" id="edit-title" size="30" value="" class="form-text">
</div>
</div>
I would change the structure to this other.
<div class="views-widget">
<div class="form-item" id="edit-title-wrapper">
<label for="edit-title">Text</label>
<input type="text" id="edit-title" size="30" value="" class="form-text">
</div>
</div>
Order to have the "input" tag after the label tag.
My question is if there is any possible way to make this change easily in Drupal.
Thanks.
Best Regards.
Yo can edit template archive .tpl or create one in theme options in views module. In this template you can add and modify elements.

When using a ng-form tag on an ng-repeat which contains a radio button group, the radio buttons are linked so if you check a radio button in one ng-repeat it will deselect in all the other ng-repeats. This puzzles me as the model of the ng-repeat is otherwise isolated from the other items. This is not only an issue when using ng-repeat. It also occurs when having multiple instances of a custom directive with isolated scope which renders a
<div ng-form name="myForm">
In the Plnkkr try adding a number of items and check the radio buttons on some of the items.
They should be independent, but they are not.
Is this a bug in Angular?
If not why does it work this way and how can I work around it?
<form name="mainForm" ng-submit="submitAll()">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="item in items" ng-form="subForm">
<input type="text" required name="name" ng-model="item.name"/>
<input type="radio" name="myRadio" value="r1" ng-model="item.radio" /> r1
<input type="radio" name="myRadio" value="r2" ng-model="item.radio" /> r2
<span ng-show="subForm.name.$error.required">required</span>
<button type="button" ng-disabled="subForm.$invalid" ng-click="submitOne(item)">Submit One</button>
</li>
</ul>
<button type="submit" ng-disabled="mainForm.$invalid">Submit All</button>
</form>
Those radio buttons are "connected" by a browser since you are giving them the same name. Just drop the name attribute and things start to work as expected:

As per your last comment, I have tried this out and it works. I'm not using the built-in angular validation but I believe it works all the same and is very simple
<li ng-repeat="item in items" ng-form="subForm">
<input type="text" required name="name" ng-model="item.name"/>
<input type="radio" value="r1" ng-model="item.radio" /> r1
<input type="radio" value="r2" ng-model="item.radio" /> r2
<span ng-show="item.radio==''">required</span>
<button type="button" ng-disabled="subForm.$invalid || item.radio==''" ng-click="submitOne(item) ">Submit One</button>
</li>
See my working example at http://wiredbeast.com/coolframework/stackover.html
The trick is using ng-show="item.radio==''" to show the validation error and to disable the "Submit One" button.
In my honest opinion angular form validation and browser validation with checkboxes and radios is not very solid.
I know how to detect which submit button was clicked when I know the name values of each of the buttons. But what if the names are dynamic or defined by another component?
For example, here I can simply check the POST data from this <form> for either alpha or bravo:
<form>
<input type="submit" name="alpha" value="Alpha">
<input type="submit" name="bravo" value="Bravo">
</form>
But that's only because I know I should be looking for those names.
Is there a best practice for handling this type of situation? (Perhaps by rendering an element <input type="hidden" name="submit-button-names" value="dynamic_name1|dynamic_name2|etc">.) I would like a solution that doesn't require JavaScript.
Presuming you have control over the JSP displaying these buttons, just prefix the button names with a string you can look for in the POSTed data. For example prepending "dynamicbutton_" to all of the names like this
<form>
<input type="submit" name="dynamicbutton_alpha" value="Alpha">
<input type="submit" name="dynamicbutton_bravo" value="Bravo">
</form>
Then in your Servlet, look for values with this prefix by calling ServletRequest.getAttributeNames()
You could write a custom tag to set the different inputs to your form based on a list of parameters you give to the tag.
You would end up with the HTML looking something like this:
<form method="POST" action="SelectColour.do">
<p>Select your favorite colour: </p>
<formTags:select name='colour' size='1' optionsList='${applicationScope.colourList}'/>
<input type="SUBMIT" value="Click here to submit">
</form>
Here's a decent guide to creating custom tags.
I have a form where I have a search functionality with a text box(TextBox1) and a submitt button(Button1). Apart from search, there is another set of textbox(TextBox2) and submitt button(Button2). When I write something in search box(TextBox1), and hit enter, the validation message of the second textbox(TextBox2) is shown.
I am not sure how to bind the respective textboxes with submitt buttons. Please help.
Thanks in advance
Depending on how much control you have, the easiest way would be to have separate forms for each texbox/button combo.
<form action="dosomething.php">
<input type="text" name="foo" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<form action="dosomethingelse.php">
<input type="text" name="bar" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
If you can't or don't want to do that, you'll need to look at handling the onkeydown event on the text boxes to prevent an automatic submission. Something like <input type="Text" name="foo" onkeydown="doSubmit(this); return false;" />. Note the return false;, which prevents the default action from taking place.
Is there an attribute which I can specify for an <input> element which would turn off the predictive text functionality for this given field?
Something along the lines
<input type="text" predictive="disabled" />
There are some options:
<input type="text" autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off">
On a per form field basis you can always do the following:
<input type="text" autocorrect="off" />
From the user side you can
Settings > General > Keyboard >
Auto-Correction On/Off.
from the app side, i don't think it can be done.
