I have searched all over this information so if this is in the archives somewhere I apologize for asking again.

I am creating a responsive design contact form in html5. I have phone numbers listed in links i.e. <a href="tel:xxx-xxx-xxxx">xxx-xxx-xxxx</a> so mobile device users can call by clicking the link. Is there an Aria label we should use for phone numbers?

All I can find is the Aria label for input fields in forms.

Regards.

Marilyn

There is no ARIA for phone numbers, there is an HTML5 type=tel.
