Hi all,

I am testing a webpage and I don't know how to handle the problem with
the error messages.

If an error messages is displayed below the input field and there is no
ARIA technique (aria-describedby etc.) implemented, which success
criterion fails:

Is it 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (because the message can not be
programmatically detemined) -
or is it 3.3.1 Error Identification (because there is only visual
identification?)


Thanks,
sonja
