Open chriz-uniba opened 2 years ago

chriz-uniba commented 2 years ago

Package version (if known): version-v9.0.0.rc1 - https://inveniordm.web.cern.ch/ (2022-05-18)

Describe the bug

Username, Email-Address and Password are required fields in the sign up form. But they are not marked as such.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to https://inveniordm.web.cern.ch/signup/
  2. See form with 5 fields that look all the same, although 3 of them are required.

Expected behavior

Making visibly available the information which fields are required.

Note: this remains an issue in v.12

Required status is announced to voiceover, which is great. But a visual identifier is also needed (e.g., a red asterisk) to indicate which fields are required.

Another problem on this page is the use of placeholders instead of proper labels. For instance, the fact that the placeholder disappears as soon as one starts typing is problematic for some users.

This placeholder-instead-of-label issue is fairly common in forms RDM-wide.
