No previous message | Next message →
Hello.
Is this a normal behavior that when I land on the combo box when I press tab from a prior form field all JFW is saying is the word (required) and not the label I put which is (subject)? Note that I have less control with the HTML code since the form is made by a WordPress plugin.
This is not part of the question but I notice there's the aria-invalid="false" in the code. I'm saying this because I once read a thread here discussing the announcement of the invalid message even the field is empty.

If it has associated label, it should read by screen reader. Can you please
share the link / code snippet to look at? I use word press to good extent.
Playing more these days. so may be able to investigate.

I already fixed the problem by adding an ID to the combo box which the label is supposed to be targeting. Thank you for your willingness to help.
