Interactive Samples

Do not include items that failed 5.A.
Enter data in each form element and try to submit to verify if there are data input requirements. (Important tip for training!)
If specific formats are required for data input, these must be conveyed in the form label (e.g., Date (MM/DD/YYYY)). Reliance on an error message is not sufficient.
This test may be somewhat subjective but, at minimum, the label should include enough information so a user understands the form's purpose and how to enter the requested data.
