Official methodology to test criterion 11.5

Test 1 (11.5.1)

  1. Find the related form controls in the document (for example, a group of identity information entries, a series of tick boxes, a date entry in several successive fields, etc.).
  2. For each group of form related form controls, check that these related form controls are grouped together:
    • either in a <fieldset> element;
    • or in an element with a WAI-ARIA role="group" attribute;
    • or in an element with a WAI-ARIA role="radiogroup" or "group" attribute, in the case of <input> elements of type radio (or elements with a WAI-ARIA role="radio" attribute).
  3. If this is the case for each group of form related form controls, the test is validated.
