Issues<br />

Incorrect use of HTML headings. The element should come before the <br />

(see Figure 20).<br />

Recommendation<br />

Use form fieldset and legend elements to improve accessibility. These are<br />

important features used by screen readers to associate instructional text with<br />

corresponding input fields (see Figure 21). Step 1 uses labels to associate<br />

instructional text with corresponding input fields. Step 2 does not use labels at all.<br />
