Form errors that are effective and accessible

You did it. You got someone to want to reach out to you. They submit your form but forget to fill out a field or don't input things correctly. If it's not easy to find and fix those errors, people aren't always going to seek you out somewhere else, if they even knew there was a submission issue in the first place. Errors that are properly written and displayed are good for screen reader users, people with cognitive differences, and — as always — everyone else. -- Blog Version: https://kineticiris.com/form-errors/ Autocomplete Values: https://www.w3.org/TR/wcag/#input-purposes
