If this is an issue then you need to use Standard Fields and not Advanced Fields. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/section-508-and-wcag-accessibility-compatible-forms#post-27382 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 22:58:26 +0000 RichardBest 27382@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi All - Just wondering if there were any developments on this issue please. I'm running into a similar issue with a government agency. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/section-508-and-wcag-accessibility-compatible-forms#post-17602 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 20:04:33 +0000 B 17602@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This firefox add-on is a good 508 compliance development tool:<br /> <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/accessibility-evaluation-toolb/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/accessibility-evaluation-toolb/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/section-508-and-wcag-accessibility-compatible-forms#post-17565 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 14:02:34 +0000 Carl Hancock 17565@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you provide us more details on what exactly is wrong with the captcha field, such as an example of the incorrect code and what needs to be changed to make it compatible we can look into it. I'm not familiar enough with 508 accessibility guidelines to know what needs to be changed with the captcha. What is a good online tool for validating for 508 compliance? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/section-508-and-wcag-accessibility-compatible-forms#post-17106 Thu, 27 Jan 2011 14:21:17 +0000 Delta 17106@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We're having the same problem. The client receives federal grant dollars and the site must pass 508 compliance. We're using <a href="http://wave.webaim.org/" rel="nofollow">http://wave.webaim.org/</a> </p> <p>We can get around the problem with the name field by not using the advanced name field. However, the captcha field can't be fixed since it has a misattributed label error.</p> <p>Can gravity forms be corrected to make that label 508 compliant?</p> <p>thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/section-508-and-wcag-accessibility-compatible-forms#post-12891 Thu, 18 Nov 2010 12:18:42 +0000 Carl Hancock 12891@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There is no way to change the order of the label and input fields. The labels on advanced fields appear below the fields, by design. For example with the Name field the First and Last Name labels appear below the inputs. This isn't currently configurable. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/section-508-and-wcag-accessibility-compatible-forms#post-12874 Thu, 18 Nov 2010 11:27:01 +0000 UTH Office of Communications 12874@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm trying to make my generated Gravity Forms compatible with Section 508 &amp; WCAG guidelines. </p> <p>I'm running this form page (<a href="http://www.utradiologyconsult.com/report-website-error/" rel="nofollow">http://www.utradiologyconsult.com/report-website-error/</a>) through the validator at <a href="http://www.totalvalidator.com/validator/ValidatorForm" rel="nofollow">http://www.totalvalidator.com/validator/ValidatorForm</a> and I'm receiving a couple of errors regarding the labels &amp; IDs. It's also not passing validation due to the order the label &amp; input fields come in, but that doesn't seem to be editable in Gravity Forms.</p> <p>Has anyone else ever run GF through these checks/validations? </p>
