The test procedure will be changed to add a third line: Procedure (1) Fill out a form, deliberately leaving one or more required (mandatory) fields blank, and submit it. (2) Check that a text description is provided identifying the mandatory field(s) that was not completed. (3) Check that other data previously entered by the user is re-displayed, unless the data is in a security related field where it would be inappropriate to retain the data for re-display (e.g. password). Expected Results #2 and #3 are true Loretta Guarino Reid, WCAG WG Co-Chair Gregg Vanderheiden, WCAG WG Co-Chair Michael Cooper, WCAG WG Staff Contact On behalf of the WCAG Working Group
