Refer to: H65: Using the title attribute to identify form controls when the label element cannot be used F82: Failure of Success Criterion 3.3.2 by visually formatting a set of phone number fields but not including a text label F86: Failure of Success Criterion 4.1.2 due to not providing names for each part of a multi-part form field, such as a US telephone number Comment 1: Will F82 not be considered a failure if H65 is employed? i.e. title attribute is used? Whenever H65 is used ... because visible label association is not possible it would always be a failure of SC 3.3.2 that requires visible labels. Yet one overlooks SC 3.3.2 if H65 is used, right? One could use : <fieldset> <legend>Phone# (*)</legend> // visible text <input type="text" title="Area code" /> <input type="text" title="Next 3 digits" /> <input type="text" title="Last 4 digits" /> </fieldset> Comment 2: Why are multi part fields singled out by F86 for absence of name attribute? Note: H91 says the associated label or title serves as name for INPUT element. Sailesh Panchang
