Warm-Up Reflection #5

Form Validation- Flexibility and Accessibliltiy

Done: 1/18/2019

Teacher: Derek Featherstone

What I Already Knew: 

  • It’s important for error messages to be clear and short and accessible to everyone
  • HTML5 includes special text boxes for tel, url, email, date, search and more.
  • Flexible designs are made to fit all types of resolutions

 

What I Didn’t Know:

  • In the early days screen resolution was thought to be 640×480, and was later to be 800×600
  • Fixed layouts don’t respond well to text-resizing, which is vital to users with disabilities
  • aria-describedby makes sure that screen readers can hear if there is an error in the form

 

What I Want to Know:

I want to know more about how I can use HTML5 to make forms more accessible to those who need it.
