Access Denied #44: Accessibility placeholders

1 minute read

Sarah: Our form fields need proper labels. Placeholders aren't enough.

Gary: Why? The placeholder text explains it before they even type.

Sarah: But it disappears the second they start typing. That's a terrible experience.

Gary: If users forget, they can just delete their input and start over. This way they can double-check their information.
