Re: Unlabelled text input - Label in Name?

Hi.

I'm looking for some feedback on an issue possibly relating to WCAG 2.1 Label in Name.

So we have a text input with the label 'First Name'

The label has not been programmatically associated with the text input using the appropriate attribute/ID (a few other failures here) BUT there is a visible label. Will this also fail Label in Name? I think it does..."For user interface components<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-user-interface-components> with labels<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-labels> that include text<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-text> or images of text<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-images-of-text>, the name<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-name> contains the text that is presented visually."

Thanks

Tom
