Accessibility Information & Tips

• For required form controls, indicate the required status in the control's <label> or <legend>. If not indicated by text (like "(required)"), then make sure the meaning of the indicator is explained before it is used. NOTE: Abbreviating "required" to "req." may be confusing.
