    Hello,

    I love Happyforms UX and simplicity, but it need a little more improvement on accessibility. Here some issue that I see:

    • Required fields needs to be marked as mandatory before seeing an error message (with a little asterisk and a message “Fields with asterisk needs to be completed”)
    • Autocomplete needs to be completed (see this for more information)
    • Form elements must have labels

    Is there any plan to improve accessibility?

    Thank’s in advance!

    Hey @remiliko ??

    Truth be told, we’re a bit behind with WCAG compliance — and autocompletion is often a two-sided sword. For now, we’ve opted to silence it altogether, but I definitely agree it would be great to have some real compliance there. We’re taking notes.

    In the meanwhile though, you can use a bit of custom code, and output autocompletion attributes for each of your fields. If you’re okay with custom code, just let us know and we’ll share more details.

    As for required fields, you’re totally free to add an asterisk to your fields Label setting, and pop a Paragraph field at the top of your form with the “Fields with asterisk needs to be completed” message. Could that work for you?

    Finally, I’m not sure about “Form elements must have labels”. What’s preventing you from adding a label to your fields? Am I overlooking something?

    Let us know!
