Course Submission Form comments

Hi Leticia,

Below are some quick thoughts -- preceded with [SLH: -- on EOWG comments in https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35532/courses-butterfly/results

Brian:
I am fine with the content of the form, but do have some concerns about the underlying code and how it may affect accessibility of the form. Two examples that stand out:
- incorrect use of grouping elements (<fieldset>). There are many cases where a single label and input are wrapped in a fieldset, which is not the correct use. There are other cases where grouped content does not properly use the fieldset.
- using HTML5 validation instead of custom validation. While it works and is generally accessible, if there are multiple fields not filled out, only the first one is indicated and could cause a user to have to submit, fix one field, submit, fix another field, submit, etc. With custom validation all errors could be surfaced at the same time allowing users to fix all of them at once.

[SLH: fix above.]  

[SLH: check with Brian and others if other accessibility issues. maybe Matt King, Daniel, or other screen reader or ARIA experts]

Sylvie:
In the help for the description field, one can read: "Provide a brief description of this resource (max. 350 chars)."
I wonder if the word chars is clear enough for anybody wanting to submit this form or if characters would be clearer.

[SLH: +1, maybe even frontload with the number and write out both words: (350 characters maximum).]

Andrew:
1. List of Accessibility Courses
1.1 could we have a shortened email address for the editors group list that redirects to "group-wai-list-courses@w3.org"?
[SLH: not a priority]
1.2 could “Changing filters will change the listed courses.” be “Changing filters will update the list of courses.” as the courses won't the change, just the list presented
[SLH: 0 (I’m not sure this wording is more clear or less clear? It’s not going to update the list. It’s changing what from the list is displayed. /me brainstorms: “Changing filters will change which courses are displayed.” ? “Changing filters will change which course are shown.” ? “Changing filters changes the courses listed.” ?)]
2. Submit a course, training, or certification on web accessibility
2.1 - same comment re email address as earlier
[SLH: not a priority]
2.2 Country "In which country or countries is the provider?" to "In which country or countries is the provider located?"
[SLH: +0.25]

Shawn:
