Structuring accessible forms

We look at the basics of building a form with different input types, adding in the necessary HTML attributes to link our form elements semantically, sprinkling in ARIA attributes and handling errors and data validation.

The web is inherently accessible

The web is accessible by default; it is our design decisions that stop it being accessible. Every semantic mistake introduces accessibility issues into your code. We need to develop accessible pages from the bottom up, starting with semantic markup. Many designers and developers have a poor grasp of what native elements to use and what functionality they provide.
