Suggestion: change the title slightly #7 Closed ticket, cjforms: The current title is “Common form accessibility mistakes” which is quite a hefty noun string. In the explanation, you call it “Common accessibility mistakes in forms” which is a little easier to parse. Suggestion: change the title accordingly.
