WCAG 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value Level A

Who this affects

This button has no name, so it is announced only as "button".

How to fix it

Give the input a value attribute, or an aria-label describing the action.

How much work is it?

Usually a content edit. That is a rough guide for planning, not an estimate for your codebase. A single content edit repeated across a template is a template change.

What a person still has to check

Passing this rule does not mean 4.1.2 passes. Automation checks part of the criterion, and the rest is a judgement:

Use a screen reader on each custom control and confirm its name, role, and state are announced.

Read 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value in plain language

Where this check comes from

This is an axe-core rule. We run axe in a real browser on every page we scan. Deque’s reference for input-button-name
