H93 Duplicate Label For Attributes Failure

Explanation

According to Success Criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships), most input fields should be explicitly associated with a label.

As a label is used to identify an input field in the "name, role, value, state" accessibility API structure - as per Success Criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value) - an input field is explicitly limited to having one label. The above example is incorrect due to having multiple labels.

The error also requests that you check for duplicate IDs for the input fields themselves. If you have duplicate "for" names for labels, it is possible that you have duplicated field IDs.

Expected Errors

• [Standard].Principle1.Guideline1_3.1_3_1.H93: "Multiple labels exist with the same 'for' attribute. If these labels refer to different form controls, the controls should have unique 'id' attributes."

Relevant Success Criteria

• SC 1.3.1: Info and Relationships
