  This form control has no LABEL and no programmatically determined name

  Jan 23, 2018 10:00 AM|demoninside9|LINK

  Hi All,

          Please suggest. I need to verify some WCAG guidelines. I googled a lot but didn't get any appropriate solution. 

         The WCAG guidelines say (whan I run my form in sortsite)    

  This form control has no LABEL and no programmatically determined name. WCAG 2.0 A F68 Section 508 (2017) A F68 1 pages

  A programmatically determined name allows screen readers to tell the user what the control does. To add a name do one of the following:
  •Use a LABEL element with the FOR attribute set to the ID of the form control
  •Wrap a LABEL element around the form control
  •Add a TITLE attribute
  •Add an ARIA-LABELLEDBY attribute (not supported in all screen readers)
  •Add an ARIA-LABEL attribute (not supported in all screen readers)

  I tried by all three ways 1. put title of form in code file 2. put a title in form tag 3. put a title in page directive, but the issue remain same.

  Could you please suggest What I need to do. (Any resource/link/any working content )

  Note: I am using a master page.

  I need to correct 2 more issue, but couldn't find on any website 

  (1. Identify row and column headers in data tables using TH elements, and mark layout tables with role='presentation'.

  2. This page uses nested tables, which do not make sense when read in a screen reader.)

  Thanks

  Happy Programming! :)

  its not the <form> tag that needs the label, but every <input>, <textarea> and <select>.

  if a table is just used for layout you use the role, if the table is used to present data in a grid, you need to use <th> to label the columns. every table should have 1 or the other.

  you are not allowed to nest data tables.

  but every <input>, <textarea> and <select>.

  But I am using <asp:Button>, <asp:Text Box... /> and <asp:Dropdownlist... />

  After render it shows html controls, but in my aspx how can I do that?

  Please suggest.

  Happy Programming! :)

  Hi demoninside,

  May I know if that what you want is to add a new attribute to your form control.

  If yes. please refer to this way;

        private void Page_Load()
   {        
          yourcontrolid.Attributes["title"] = " ";
   }

  Guide:

  Hope it is helpful to you :)

  With regards, Angelina Jolie

  private void Page_Load()
   {
          yourcontrolid.Attributes["title"] = " ";
   }

  Thanks for your reply, although I am using vb.net, I did like

  txt_search_data.Attributes.Add("title", "Search")

  But still shows

  <div>This form control has a blank label or title.</div> <div></div> <div>Add descriptive text to the form control's label. </div> <div></div> <div>While finding issue for WCAG. <div></div> </div> <div>My text box on search page is as </div> <div>

  <asp:TextBox ID="txt_search_data" runat="server" Width="232px"  ></asp:TextBox>
  
  <asp:Label ID="lbl_search_instructions" AssociatedControlID="txt_search_data" runat="server" Text="Search Instructions"></asp:Label>

  Thanks</div>

  Happy Programming! :)

  Hi demoninside,

  demoninside9

  Use a LABEL element with the FOR attribute set to the ID of the form control

  Sir, i am not good at  WCAG 2.0, but if the document is right, the code should look like this, please have a try.

   <label for="form1">here is the form1</label>
      <form id="form1" runat="server">
          <div>
             
          
          </div>
      </form>

  Good Luck :)

  Bests,

  Jolie
