Structuring Accessible Forms - axe-con 2023

Forms have a strong semantic structure from labeling controls to ensuring the states of controls are announced by assistive technology. 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.
This session was in the Development Track.
