Reporter: samvimes | Owner: (none)
Type: defect (bug) | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Awaiting Review
Component: General | Version:
Severity: minor | Keywords:
Focuses: accessibility |
---------------------------+-----------------------------
The last form field titled "Website" in the default WordPress comment form
has two label for the same element, violating WCAG criterium 3.3.2 Labels
or Instructions and section 502 guideline 1194.22 (n) Information required
to complete electronic forms online
Example of HTML from the affected form field
{{{
<p class="comment-form-url ast-col-xs-12 ast-col-sm-12 ast-col-md-4 ast-
col-lg-4">
<label for="url">
<label for="url" class="screen-reader-text">Webside</label>
<input id="url" name="url" type="text" value="" placeholder="Webside"
size="30"></label>
</p>
}}}
Example of HTML produced by the email field that does not create two
labels for the same thing
{{{
<p class="comment-form-email ast-col-xs-12 ast-col-sm-12 ast-col-md-4 ast-
col-lg-4">
<label for="email" class="screen-reader-text">E-post*</label>
<input id="email" name="email" type="text" value="" placeholder="E-post*"
size="30" aria-required="true">
</p>
}}}
I've tested this on two running WordPress-sites and one I created in
localhost just to test this issue.
