3.2 Success Criterion 1.3.5 – Identify Input Purpose

Autocomplete attribute techniques should be used for each input field to make form filling easier, especially for people with cognitive disabilities.

 

Before Rectification

A webpage sample with an online input form.

The user is required to input personal information from scratch.

 

After Rectification

A webpage sample with an online input form and the autocomplete feature is applied.

Enabling the autocomplete attribute improves the browser’s ability to pre‑populate form fields with user-preferred values.  It allows the user to complete the form easily.
