Observation Details

The map's address input

  • has no visible label

  • uses a placeholder as "label", which disappears when entering text

Additionally, while not a failure of this success criterion, the required input format is only displayed as an error message to the user after unsuccessful input.

Remediation Notes

  • Visually display the input's label at all times.

  • Do not use placeholders for labels, as they disappear on text input and they might not be announced by assistive technology.

  • When a certain input format is required, use a method like aria-describedby on the input, even before the input errors, so the user knows what to enter and what not to enter.
