DRRSAG Designations:
Add a value
attribute to describe the <input>
element.
The engine scans for <input>
elements with type
attributes equal to submit
, reset
or button
that are missing value
attributes.
Assistive technologies use the accessibility API to extract the button’s name by the text associated with that element. Users who use assistive tools, such as screen readers rely on that text to understand the purpose of the button.
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
<input type="reset" value="Reset"/>
<input type="button" value="Button"/>
