SC 2.4.6 Headings and Labels

Then we have headings and labels, and this is about the label that you see and make sure that there is a label that describes the topic or the purpose of the user interface element.

Now, this is not about connecting the label in the HTML to the input field.

This is more like something on the page needs to be labeling this.

That can be a heading, that can be different things.

It can be the search button that we talked about next to the form field.

That would be a label, but there needs to be something that is there to describe the topic or purpose of that input field.

And if it's not, then that falls all under the headings and labels option.

You often see, for example, select boxes to sort things, and it just has, like, by date, and you go, like, what by date, you know, and so in this case, it's a good candidate for headings and labels as something that you would fail it on.

Yeah, and you can fail this even if there is a hidden label, for example, or something like that.

This is when there is no label that is visible and for everyone, then this can be a failure.
