The next form topic covers the accessibility of radio buttons. Each choice is given a label
with a for
attribute tying to the id
of the corresponding item as covered in the last challenge. Since radio buttons often come in a group where the user must choose one, there's a way to semantically show the choices are part of a set.
The fieldset
tag surrounds the entire grouping of radio buttons to achieve this. It often uses a legend
tag to provide a description for the grouping, which screen readers read for each choice in the fieldset
element.
The fieldset
wrapper and legend
tag are not necessary when the choices are self-explanatory, like a gender selection. Using a label
with the for
attribute for each radio button is sufficient.
Here's an example:
<form>
<fieldset>
<legend>Choose one of these three items:</legend>
<input id="one" type="radio" name="items" value="one">
<label for="one">Choice One</label><br>
<input id="two" type="radio" name="items" value="two">
<label for="two">Choice Two</label><br>
<input id="three" type="radio" name="items" value="three">
<label for="three">Choice Three</label>
</fieldset>
</form>
--instructions--
Camper Cat wants information about the ninja level of his users when they sign up for his email list. He's added a set of radio buttons and learned from our last lesson to use label
tags with for
attributes for each choice. Go Camper Cat! However, his code still needs some help. Change the div
tag surrounding the radio buttons to a fieldset
tag, and change the p
tag inside it to a legend
.
--hints--
Your code should have a fieldset
tag around the radio button set.
assert($('fieldset').length == 1);
The fieldset
element should have a closing tag.
assert(
code.match(/<\/fieldset>/g) &&
code.match(/<\/fieldset>/g).length === code.match(/<fieldset>/g).length
);
Your code should have a legend
tag around the text asking what level ninja a user is.
assert($('legend').length == 1);
Your code should not have any div
tags.
assert($('div').length == 0);
Your code should no longer have a p
tag around the text asking what level ninja a user is.
assert($('p').length == 4);
