A11y 101 – 3.3.1 Error Identification

We’ve all been there. You fill out a form. You hit submit. Nothing happens. Maybe the border turns red. Maybe a little icon winks at you. Maybe your computer hums aggressively. But nobody tells you what went wrong.

You stare at the screen. “Did it fail? Did it work? Am I now married to a stranger?”

Silence is rude. Silence is inaccessible. And silence violates WCAG 3.3.1: Error Identification.
