In addition to the accessibility tool, Forms now ensures that the following accessibility standards are followed:
Keyboard navigation - form elements are accessible using a keyboard, with logical tab ordering and visible focus indicators.
Screen reader compatibility - controls are labeled and announced correctly by screen readers. This includes descriptive ARIA labels for navigation buttons and error messages.
Form labels and instructions - fields have visible, programmatically associated labels and instructions.
Error handling - error messages are clear, specific, and linked to the relevant fields. Also, icons have been added to error messages to assist color blind individuals.
Input assistance - Forms supports autocomplete, a feature in web browsers that helps users to fill out forms more efficiently by displaying data they've entered before in frequently used fields, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses.
ARIA attributes - Forms uses appropriate ARIA roles and attributes for custom elements and provides dynamic content announcements.
Responsive design - accessibility features are available across various devices and screen sizes.
These accessibility standards are applied to all the forms created in XM Cloud, including the ones that are already live.
