Details, screenshots, coding: Form controls must have accessible names.
A form control is an interactive HTML element used for user input. Form controls include buttons, checkboxes, text fields, color pickers, and more.
An accessible name is a word or phrase coded in a way that assistive technologies can associate it with a specific user interface object. Assistive technologies can then refer to the object by name, not just by type.
