I am using a Bricks native form on a contact page and when running an accessibility audit with WAVE it gives the following error:
“Missing form Label”
It is a known issue (search google) and while I have applied so JS to add Aria Labels (hidden) it is still coming up in WAVE. AXE does not mark it as a problem.
Here is the HTML
Anyone seen this and solved this somehow? I am about to mark this as “False Positive” of WAVE>
Hi Jargon,
You’re probably referring to this: WAVE evaluation tool error | WordPress.org
The answer provided there also applies to Bricks, and unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do about.
Hi timmse, yes I am referring to this and have come to the same conclusion.
This is not the only case of “False” positive by WAVE and we have decided to include this on our Accessibility Statement as a “WAVE” issue.
What is crazy is that in my country government clerks use WAVE to assess accessibility in order to grant access to subsidy programs for companies. It is ridiculous but true and sometimes you have to “destroy” perfectly compliant parts of a site just to pass this.
WAVE needs to update their code and turn this to a warning rather than an error.
