what forms are inaccessible to you?

[deborah]

I was process of fixing an inaccessible form, and went to go swipe some CSS from another form -- and realized that other one also had accessibility problems. Whoops.

So now I'm on a mad dash to do some form accessibility remediation. It's a nice easy task which provides a big net win.

Tell me which forms you have accessibility problems with, and I will add them to my list.

The ones on my current list are the poll creator and the form to submit a support request.

At a minimum, tell me which form causes the problems, and I will play with it. Ideally, tell me

1. which form causes the problems
2. the nature of the problems
3. what browser and browser version you are using
4. what adaptive tech you are using, if any

Do we have any prototypically GOOD accessible forms that we can encourage folks to copy?

I just poked at one of the "Add ARIA to ___" bugs (bug 5107) with an eye to completing it but the idea of looking up 10,000 bits of ARIA to learn about it is daunting.

If there was something that I could copy and know it was DW Best Practice For Forms that'd be much more do-able... or alternatively a "do it this way" URL where somebody can learn which bits we're implementing? I just remember researching it once before and it was like that xkcd where you dive into Wikipedia and then come up 5 hours later with no idea what your original question even was...

Ha! D asked me to document this a couple of days ago, and I started it yesterday. I will work on finishing that today.
