http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10906 Summary: make the the conforming use of placeholder dependent on the presence of a label Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: faulkner.steve@gmail.com QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org currently there is a weak author conformance requirement in regards to the use of the placeholder attribute "The placeholder attribute should not be used as an alternative to a label." this weakness is likely to result in a range of users not being able to access a text prompt for an input as authors will misuse the placeholder attribute to provide text labels, this weakness does a disservice to users. suggest making the conforming use of placeholder dependent on the presence of an explicitly associated text label using either label element or non empty title attribute on the element. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
