Bug 75: Form with Color-Only Status + Missing Labels (Chaos: F13 + F82)

WCAG 1.4.1 (Use of Color) + 3.3.1 (Error Identification) | Multiple failures combined.

Failure F13: Error Indication by Color Only (No Text)

Issues:

  • Users with color blindness cannot distinguish error from success
  • No aria-invalid="true" on error fields
  • No error message text
  • Screen reader users have no way to know field status
Failure F82: Missing Field Labels + Color-Only Validation

Issues:

  • No <label> elements
  • Placeholder text disappears on focus
  • Color borders indicate status but not announced
  • Screen reader users cannot identify fields or their status
CHAOS: Required Field Indicator by Color Only

Issues:

  • Required/optional status shown only by color
  • No aria-required attribute
  • No asterisk (*) or text indicator
  • Color blindness makes form impossible to navigate correctly
HAL Fixes: HAL adds <label> elements to all inputs. HAL adds aria-invalid="true" to error fields with aria-describedby pointing to error text. HAL adds visible error messages (text, icons). HAL adds aria-required for required fields. HAL ensures color is never the only indicator - always includes text, icons, or other visual markers.
