You know how to build a form. But do you know what makes it accessible and how to check your work? You can create fields, validate input and submit information successfully. Yet questions about accessibility can still leave you unsure what to do. Is adding a label enough? How should instructions be connected to a field? How will someone using a screen reader discover an error? What happens when you disable a control or hide a group of questions? This course is for web developers who need to understand accessibility and apply it to the forms they build.
It’s designed as an evergreen course, with the content updated as accessibility guidance, browser behaviour and development practices evolve. Through focused explanations, demonstrations and practical coding examples, you’ll learn what to implement, why it matters and how to test the result. You’ll work with the HTML and JavaScript behind familiar form features and explore how your decisions affect people using a keyboard or screen reader. Understand the decisions, not just the attributes Knowing that an accessibility technique exists is different from knowing when and how to use it. You might have seen examples using labels, ARIA attributes or error summaries without fully understanding the problem they solve. Copying the code does not necessarily help when your own form behaves differently.
