1194.22 (n) Electronic Forms

Provision
When electronic forms are designed to be completed on-line, the form
shall allow people using assistive technology to access the information,
field elements, and functionality required for completion and submission of
the form, including all directions and cues.

Plain English
Online electronic forms must be accessible to those using assistive
technologies.
Labels, directions, information, and functionality must all be clear to those
same people
Explicit textual prompts using the LABEL tag should be used whenever
possible, along with the ID attribute in form control elements.

Why this is important.
When filling out online forms, an un-impaired user can quite easily discern
what they are to enter into a given field by looking for the label that is
visually close to the field they are inputting to. However, for users that
employ assistive technology, the software that reads the raw HTML may
not easily understand which text to read for which form control. This can
quickly result in a form that is impossible to understand, or correctly
complete, for the impaired user.

Section 508 Compliant?
Not Compliant

What must be fixed?
Explicit textual prompts using the LABEL tag along with the ID attribute
must be applied to form control elements on this website.
