MEDIUM: eight form controls have no programmatic label, including the event title, and the account dialog's password-reveal button has no accessible name at all #185

Closed

Description

@ClaydeCode

Severity: MEDIUM. Class: broken. WCAG 2.2: 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (Level A), 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions (Level A), 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A).

What breaks

Resolving, for every non-hidden input/select/textarea in the document, whether a name is available from aria-label, aria-labelledby, label[for], a wrapping <label> or title:

control file:line only cue
#ev-title — the event title, the one required field public/index.html:359 placeholder="Titel des Termins"
#search-input public/index.html:327 placeholder="Suchen…"
#ev-attendee-name public/index.html:519 placeholder="Name"
#ev-attendee-email public/index.html:520 placeholder="E-Mail"
#recur-monthly-week-idx public/index.html:457 none
#recur-monthly-weekday public/index.html:465 none
#recur-end-date public/index.html:491 none
#recur-end-count public/index.html:498 none

A placeholder is not a label — it vanishes the moment the user types, and several screen readers do not announce it. The four recurrence controls have nothing at all: they are the "Am: [ersten] [Montag]" and "Nach: [10] Wiederholungen" rows, whose meaning lives entirely in adjacent text nodes.

Four .form-label elements label nothing programmatically (no for, no wrapped control): "Wiederholen am" at :432 and :446, "Ende der Wiederholung" at :480, "Teilnehmer" at :517. Each is a group caption rendered as a label.

public/index.html:596 is the only control in the application with no accessible name whatsoever:

<button type="button" class="toggle-password" data-target="acc-password">

No text, no aria-label, no title — Chromium's name computation returns "" and a screen reader announces "button". Its twin in the onboarding form (public/index.html:113) carries aria-label="Passwort anzeigen", so the fix is copying one attribute.

Why it matters

Note what is not in this list: #add-calendar-btn, the .cal-action-btn set and the .settings-action-btn set all get correct names from their title attributes — verified in Chromium's tree as "Teilen & Link", "Umbenennen", "Als ICS exportieren", "Account entfernen". The eight above are the disjoint set with no name source at all, and one of them is the field a user must fill to create an event.

Fix direction

Add <label class="form-label" for="…"> to the four recurrence controls and the two attendee fields. Give #ev-title and #search-input a visually hidden label using the .sr-only class that public/css/app.css:1147 already defines and that no element currently uses. Copy the aria-label onto public/index.html:596. Convert the four caption labels to role="group" + aria-labelledby, or to <fieldset><legend>.

    Partly fixed on origin/master @ 61a28b7. Not closing.

    The eight unnamed controls and the password-reveal button are genuinely fixed and I confirmed it with a check that goes red when the fix is removed. The second item in "What breaks" — the four .form-label group captions that label nothing programmatically — is untouched, and nothing in the suite asserts it.

    Unlike other issues in this batch, the cited commit 7d4a431 is real, is in master's history, and its diff is exactly on point (public/index.html, public/js/eventModal.js, plus the test).

    What changed and is verified

    All eight controls from the table now carry an aria-label, read directly off the tags at 61a28b7:

    control file:line accessible name
    #ev-title public/index.html:506 aria-label="Titel des Termins"
    #search-input public/index.html:460 aria-label="Kalender durchsuchen"
    #ev-attendee-name public/index.html:681 aria-label="Name des Teilnehmers"
    #ev-attendee-email public/index.html:682 aria-label="E-Mail des Teilnehmers"
    #recur-monthly-week-idx public/index.html:603 aria-label="Woche des Monats"
    #recur-monthly-weekday public/index.html:611 aria-label="Wochentag"
    #recur-end-date public/index.html:637 aria-label="Enddatum der Wiederholung"
    #recur-end-count public/index.html:644 aria-label="Anzahl Wiederholungen"

    The name-less button is named: public/index.html:768 is now <button type="button" class="toggle-password" data-target="acc-password" aria-label="Passwort anzeigen">, matching its onboarding twin at public/index.html:97.

    Beyond what the issue asked for, public/js/eventModal.js:857 now flips the name with the state: btn.setAttribute('aria-label', input.type === 'password' ? 'Passwort anzeigen' : 'Passwort verbergen'). The handler is bound via document.querySelectorAll('.toggle-password') at public/js/eventModal.js:853 and initEventModal() is called from public/js/app.js:64, so the account-dialog button is in scope — a reveal button that keeps announcing "show password" while the password is visible would have been the next finding, and it was pre-empted.

    The fix used aria-label rather than the .sr-only label the issue suggested. For 4.1.2 and 1.3.1 that is equivalent, so I am not counting it against the fix. .sr-only (public/css/app.css:1206) is still used by only two elements (:124, :969).

    Reproduction, re-run against 61a28b7

    I re-ran the issue's own method — resolve, for every non-hidden input/select/textarea, whether a name is available from aria-label, aria-labelledby, label[for], a wrapping <label> or title:

    total non-hidden controls: 81
    
    --- UNNAMED ---
    (none)
    
    --- the eight from the issue ---
      index.html:505  NAMED via aria-label="Titel des Termins"       #ev-title
      index.html:460  NAMED via aria-label="Kalender durchsuchen"    #search-input
      index.html:681  NAMED via aria-label="Name des Teilnehmers"    #ev-attendee-name
      index.html:682  NAMED via aria-label="E-Mail des Teilnehmers"  #ev-attendee-email
      index.html:603  NAMED via aria-label="Woche des Monats"        #recur-monthly-week-idx
      index.html:611  NAMED via aria-label="Wochentag"               #recur-monthly-weekday
      index.html:637  NAMED via aria-label="Enddatum der Wiederholung" #recur-end-date
      index.html:644  NAMED via aria-label="Anzahl Wiederholungen"   #recur-end-count
    

    Not one of the 81 non-hidden controls in the document is left without a name source. That part of the issue is closed out.

    What is still live: the four caption labels

    Four .form-label elements label nothing programmatically (no for, no wrapped control) [...] Each is a group caption rendered as a label.

    Fix direction: Convert the four caption labels to role="group" + aria-labelledby, or to <fieldset><legend>.

    Still exactly as filed. Scanning for <label> elements with no for= and no labelable control inside:

    --- orphan <label> (no for=, no control inside) ---
      index.html:335  text="Arbeitstage"
      index.html:578  text="Wiederholen am"
      index.html:592  text="Wiederholen am"
      index.html:626  text="Ende der Wiederholung"
      index.html:679  text="Teilnehmende"
    

    :578, :592, :626, :679 are the four from the issue. And the grouping half was never added either — grep -n 'role="group"\|role="radiogroup"\|<fieldset\|<legend' public/index.html returns exactly one hit in the whole file, public/index.html:410 (.view-tabs), which predates this fix. So:

    • public/index.html:592 "Wiederholen am" still captions the name="recur-monthly-type" radio pair (:594, :601) with no role="group"/<fieldset> and no aria-labelledby; a screen reader reaches the radios with no group context.
    • public/index.html:626 "Ende der Wiederholung" likewise for the name="recur-end-type" radios (:629, :634, :641).
    • public/index.html:578 "Wiederholen am" likewise for the seven .recur-byday checkboxes (:580–:586).
    • public/index.html:679 "Teilnehmende" likewise for the attendee row.

    A <label> with no labeled control is also invalid per the HTML spec, independent of WCAG. The :335 "Arbeitstage" caption over the #wh-day-* checkboxes is the same defect and was not in the issue's list — same fix, mentioning it so it is not lost.

    Test run

    server/test/issue185_form_controls_accessible_labels.test.js exists (added by 7d4a431).

    $ NODE_ENV=test node --test server/test/issue185_form_controls_accessible_labels.test.js
    # tests 4
    # pass 4
    # fail 0
    

    It has no assertion of any kind about the four caption labels, group roles, <fieldset> or aria-labelledby — so the green run above is not evidence about the part that is still broken.

    Breaking the fix on purpose

    Four experiments, working tree restored with git checkout -- . after each:

    1. Stripped aria-label="Titel des Termins" from public/index.html:506 → red, # pass 2 / # fail 2, error: '#ev-title must have an accessible name / aria-label="Titel des Termins"'.
    2. Stripped aria-label="Passwort anzeigen" from the button at public/index.html:768 → red, error: 'account dialog password toggle button must have aria-label="Passwort anzeigen"'.
    3. Deleted the setAttribute('aria-label', …) line at public/js/eventModal.js:857 → red, error: 'eventModal.js must dynamically update aria-label attribute when password visibility is toggled'.

    So for what it does cover, the test has teeth. One caveat on its strength:

    1. Swapped the two recurrence aria-labels, so #recur-monthly-week-idx announces "Wochentag" and #recur-monthly-weekday announces "Woche des Monats" — both controls actively mislabeled → stayed green, # pass 4 / # fail 0.

    Each of the eight assertions is two independent whole-document indexHtml.includes(...) calls — one for id="…", one for aria-label="…" — which never checks that the two are on the same element. The names are correct today; I verified the associations by reading the tags, not by trusting the test. But the test would not catch a mislabeling regression, only an outright deletion.

    Verdict

    The headline defect — including #ev-title, the one required field, and the button with no name at all — is fixed and holds up under a check that goes red. The group-caption item from the same issue is untouched and unasserted. Leaving this open for public/index.html:578, :592, :626, :679 (and :335); it is now a small, well-specified piece of work.

    Working tree restored, git status --porcelain empty.

    Partly fixed on origin/master @ 86ff8d1. Not closing.

    Unchanged from my last pass. The eight unnamed controls and the password-reveal button are still fixed and still hold up under a check that goes red. The second item in "What breaks" — the four .form-label group captions that label nothing programmatically — is still untouched, and nothing in the suite asserts it.

    The cited commit does not touch this issue

    c7ffd93 is real and is in master's history, but its diff has nothing to do with #185. What it changes in the three front-end files:

    • public/css/app.css:1114-1121, :1512-1526 — visibility: hidden on the off-canvas sidebar and settings drawer.
    • public/index.html:228 — hidden class on #settings-drawer; :1037, :1090, :1148 — role="dialog" aria-modal="true" aria-labelledby on the invitations / availability / shortcuts modals.
    • public/js/dialogFocus.js:39, :64, :93 — open class bookkeeping in openDialog/closeDialog and the getTopDialog selector.

    Dialog-level accessibility and focus containment, i.e. #186's territory, not the form-control labels this issue is about. The only other commit touching public/index.html since my last pass is b9af960 (webcal subscriptions). No commit in 61a28b7..86ff8d1 adds a group role, a <fieldset> or an aria-labelledby to any of the four captions.

    Still verified fixed

    Re-ran the issue's own method against 86ff8d1 — for every non-hidden input/select/textarea, resolve a name from aria-label, aria-labelledby, label[for], a wrapping <label> or title:

    total non-hidden controls: 85
    
    --- UNNAMED ---
      (none)
    
    --- the eight from the issue ---
      index.html:518  #ev-title                aria-label="Titel des Termins"
      index.html:473  #search-input            aria-label="Kalender durchsuchen"
      index.html:694  #ev-attendee-name        aria-label="Name des Teilnehmers"
      index.html:695  #ev-attendee-email       aria-label="E-Mail des Teilnehmers"
      index.html:616  #recur-monthly-week-idx  aria-label="Woche des Monats"
      index.html:624  #recur-monthly-weekday   aria-label="Wochentag"
      index.html:650  #recur-end-date          aria-label="Enddatum der Wiederholung"
      index.html:657  #recur-end-count         aria-label="Anzahl Wiederholungen"
      index.html:781  .toggle-password[data-target="acc-password"]  aria-label="Passwort anzeigen"
    

    85 controls now (four more than at 61a28b7), none without a name source. public/js/eventModal.js:864 still flips the name with the state (btn.setAttribute('aria-label', input.type === 'password' ? 'Passwort anzeigen' : 'Passwort verbergen')), bound at public/js/eventModal.js:860.

    Still live: the four caption labels

    Four .form-label elements label nothing programmatically (no for, no wrapped control) [...] Fix direction: Convert the four caption labels to role="group" + aria-labelledby, or to <fieldset><legend>.

    Scanning for <label> with no for= and no labelable control inside:

      index.html:348  class="form-label"  text="Arbeitstage"
      index.html:591  class="form-label"  text="Wiederholen am"
      index.html:605  class="form-label"  text="Wiederholen am"
      index.html:639  class="form-label"  text="Ende der Wiederholung"
      index.html:692  class="form-label"  text="Teilnehmende"
    

    :591, :605, :639, :692 are the four from the issue (:692 is the "Teilnehmer" caption, since renamed "Teilnehmende"). And the grouping half was never added: role="group", role="radiogroup", <fieldset> and <legend> together have exactly one hit in the whole document, public/index.html:423 (.view-tabs), which predates 7d4a431. Ancestor chains of the grouped controls, read off the tree:

    • public/index.html:605 "Wiederholen am" captions the name="recur-monthly-type" radio pair (:608, :613). Chain: label.radio-option < div.radio-group < div.form-group.hidden — no role, no aria-labelledby.
    • public/index.html:639 "Ende der Wiederholung" likewise for the name="recur-end-type" radios (:642, :647, :654); same bare div.radio-group.
    • public/index.html:591 "Wiederholen am" likewise for the seven .recur-byday checkboxes (:593–:599); chain label.weekday-check < div.weekdays-checkgrid < div.form-group.hidden.
    • public/index.html:692 "Teilnehmende" likewise for the attendee row.

    A screen reader reaches each of those radios and checkboxes with no group context, and a <label> with no labeled control is invalid per the HTML spec independent of WCAG. The :348 "Arbeitstage" caption over the #wh-day-* checkboxes (:350–:356) is the same defect and was not in the issue's list — same fix, naming it so it is not lost.

    Test run

    server/test/issue185_form_controls_accessible_labels.test.js, unchanged since 7d4a431 (git log on the file shows that one commit only):

    $ NODE_ENV=test node --test server/test/issue185_form_controls_accessible_labels.test.js
    # tests 4
    # pass 4
    # fail 0
    

    grep -niE 'group|fieldset|legend|labelledby|form-label|Wiederholen am|Ende der Wiederholung|Teilnehmende|Arbeitstage' over that test file returns nothing, and no test anywhere under server/test or e2e mentions fieldset, role="group" or radiogroup. The green run above is therefore not evidence about the part that is still broken.

    Breaking the fix on purpose

    Four experiments, git checkout -- . after each.

    1. Stripped aria-label="Titel des Termins" from public/index.html:519 → red, # pass 2 / # fail 2, error: '#ev-title must have an accessible name / aria-label="Titel des Termins"'.
    2. Stripped aria-label="Passwort anzeigen" from the button at public/index.html:781 → red, # pass 2 / # fail 2, error: 'account dialog password toggle button must have aria-label="Passwort anzeigen"'.
    3. Deleted public/js/eventModal.js:864 → red, # pass 2 / # fail 2, error: 'eventModal.js must dynamically update aria-label attribute when password visibility is toggled'.

    So the fixed half has teeth. The still-live half has none, and two experiments show it:

    1. Deleted all four caption labels outright (-e '692d' -e '639d' -e '605d' -e '591d', removing <label class="form-label">Wiederholen am</label> ×2, Ende der Wiederholung, Teilnehmende) → stayed green, # pass 4 / # fail 0. The issue's own test does not notice the four elements it was supposed to cover disappearing.
    2. Swapped the two recurrence aria-labels so #recur-monthly-week-idx announces "Wochentag" and #recur-monthly-weekday announces "Woche des Monats" — both actively mislabeled → stayed green, # pass 4 / # fail 0. Each assertion is two independent whole-document indexHtml.includes(...) calls, one for id="…" and one for aria-label="…", never checking the two are on the same element. The names are correct today; I verified that by reading the tags, not by trusting the test.

    Verdict

    Nothing regressed and nothing advanced since 61a28b7. The headline defect stays fixed; the group-caption item from the same issue is still untouched, still unasserted, and the commit cited for this round is about dialog roles rather than form labels. Leaving open for public/index.html:591, :605, :639, :692 (and :348) — still a small, well-specified piece of work.

    Working tree restored, git status --porcelain empty.

    Partly fixed on origin/master @ 026c459. Not closing.

    Unchanged from my last two passes. The eight unnamed controls and the password-reveal button are fixed and still hold up under a check that goes red. The second item in "What breaks" — the four .form-label group captions that label nothing programmatically — is still untouched, and nothing in the suite asserts it.

    The cited commit does not touch this issue

    dc05830 is real and is in master's history (2026-10-04), but its diff does not contain a single front-end change relevant to #185 — or to public/index.html at all:

    $ git show --stat dc05830

    Secrets generation / portal id / sync worker — #82's territory. The only two commits touching public/index.html since my last pass (86ff8d1) are 73f9e86 (issue #87, dialog focus management) and 3bf4e13 (issue #96, notifications). No commit in 86ff8d1..026c459 adds a group role, a <fieldset> or an aria-labelledby to any of the four captions.

    Still verified fixed

    Re-ran the issue's own method against 026c459 — for every input/select/textarea with type != hidden, resolve a name from aria-label, aria-labelledby, label[for], a wrapping <label> or title:

    total controls (type!=hidden): 85
      of those, not inside hidden/aria-hidden subtree: 85
    
    --- UNNAMED CONTROLS ---
      (none)
    
    --- the eight from the issue + password button ---
      :526  #ev-title                -> aria-label="Titel des Termins"
      :481  #search-input            -> aria-label="Kalender durchsuchen"
      :702  #ev-attendee-name        -> aria-label="Name des Teilnehmers"
      :703  #ev-attendee-email       -> aria-label="E-Mail des Teilnehmers"
      :624  #recur-monthly-week-idx  -> aria-label="Woche des Monats"

      :658  #recur-end-date          -> aria-label="Enddatum der Wiederholung"
      :665  #recur-end-count         -> aria-label="Anzahl Wiederholungen"
      :97   button.toggle-password[data-target="ob-password"]   -> aria-label="Passwort anzeigen"
      :789  button.toggle-password[data-target="acc-password"]  -> aria-label="Passwort anzeigen"
    

    Not one of the 85 controls in the document is left without a name source, and I verified the eight associations by reading the tags rather than trusting the test. public/js/eventModal.js:898 still flips the name with the state:

    btn.setAttribute('aria-label', input.type === 'password' ? 'Passwort anzeigen' : 'Passwort verbergen');

    Still live: the four caption labels

    Four .form-label elements label nothing programmatically (no for, no wrapped control) [...] Fix direction: Convert the four caption labels to role="group" + aria-labelledby, or to <fieldset><legend>.

    Scanning for <label> with no for= and no labelable control inside its close tag:

    --- ORPHAN <label> (no for=, no labelable control inside) ---
      :348  class="form-label"  text="Arbeitstage"
      :599  class="form-label"  text="Wiederholen am"
      :613  class="form-label"  text="Wiederholen am"
      :647  class="form-label"  text="Ende der Wiederholung"
      :700  class="form-label"  text="Teilnehmende"
    

    :599, :613, :647, :700 are the four from the issue (:700 is the "Teilnehmer" caption, since renamed "Teilnehmende" by #168). The grouping half was never added either — role="group", role="radiogroup", <fieldset> and <legend> together have exactly one hit in the whole document, public/index.html:431 (.view-tabs, role="group" aria-label="Ansicht wählen"), which predates 7d4a431. Every other aria-labelledby in the file is on a role="dialog" (:228, :510, :730, :817, :868, :906, :927, :950, :1037, :1045, :1061, :1098, :1156) — #186/#87 work, not this. Nothing in public/js/ adds a group role at runtime either (grep -nE "setAttribute\('role'" public/js/ hits only grid/rowgroup/row/gridcell in calendar.js and role="alert" on toasts).

    Ancestor chains of the grouped controls, read off the parsed tree:

      name="recur-byday"           x7  lines 601,602,603,604,605,606,607
        chain: label.weekday-check < div.weekdays-checkgrid < div.form-group.hidden < form
      name="recur-monthly-type"    x2  lines 616,621
        chain: label.radio-option  < div.radio-group        < div.form-group.hidden < form
      name="recur-end-type"        x3  lines 650,655,662
        chain: label.radio-option  < div.radio-group        < div.form-group.hidden < form
    

    No role, no aria-labelledby anywhere on those chains. So a screen reader still reaches each of those radios and checkboxes with no group context: public/index.html:613 "Wiederholen am" over the recur-monthly-type radio pair, :647 "Ende der Wiederholung" over the three recur-end-type radios, :599 "Wiederholen am" over the seven .recur-byday checkboxes, :700 "Teilnehmende" over the attendee row. A <label> with no labeled control is also invalid per the HTML spec, independent of WCAG. The :348 "Arbeitstage" caption over the #wh-day-* checkboxes (:350–:356) is the same defect and was not in the issue's list — same fix, naming it so it is not lost.

    Test run

    server/test/issue185_form_controls_accessible_labels.test.js, still unchanged since 7d4a431 (git log on the file shows that one commit only):

    $ NODE_ENV=test node --test server/test/issue185_form_controls_accessible_labels.test.js
    # tests 4
    # pass 4
    # fail 0
    

    grep -rniE 'fieldset|<legend|role="?(group|radiogroup)' over server/test and e2e returns nothing at all, so the green run above is not evidence about the part that is still broken.

    Breaking the fix on purpose

    Five experiments, git checkout -- . after each. The fixed half has teeth:

    1. Stripped aria-label="Titel des Termins" from public/index.html:527 (the #ev-title tag's second line) → red, # pass 2 / # fail 2, error: '#ev-title must have an accessible name / aria-label="Titel des Termins"'.
    2. Stripped aria-label="Passwort anzeigen" from the button at public/index.html:789 → red, # pass 2 / # fail 2, error: 'account dialog password toggle button must have aria-label="Passwort anzeigen"'.
    3. Deleted public/js/eventModal.js:898 → red, # pass 2 / # fail 2, error: 'eventModal.js must dynamically update aria-label attribute when password visibility is toggled'.

    The still-live half has none, and two experiments show it:

    1. Deleted all four caption labels outright (sed -i -e '700d' -e '647d' -e '613d' -e '599d', removing <label class="form-label">Wiederholen am</label> ×2, Ende der Wiederholung and Teilnehmende) → stayed green, # pass 4 / # fail 0. The issue's own test does not notice the four elements it was supposed to cover disappearing. (Deleting the Teilnehmende one alone does turn server/test/issue168_gendergerecht_german_copy.test.js red — error: 'index.html should contain gendergerecht label for attendees' — but that asserts the caption's wording, not any programmatic association, and the other three deletions are asserted by nothing anywhere in the repo.)
    2. Swapped the two recurrence aria-labels so #recur-monthly-week-idx announces "Wochentag" and #recur-monthly-weekday announces "Woche des Monats" — both actively mislabeled → stayed green, # pass 4 / # fail 0. Each of the eight assertions is two independent whole-document indexHtml.includes(...) calls, one for id="…" and one for aria-label="…", which never checks that the two are on the same element. So the test catches an outright deletion but not a mislabeling regression.

    Verdict

    Nothing regressed and nothing advanced since 86ff8d1. The headline defect — #ev-title, the one required field, and the button that had no name at all — stays fixed and verified. The group-caption item from the same issue is still untouched, still unasserted, and the commit cited for this round (dc05830) is about secrets generation and the sync worker rather than form labels. Leaving open for public/index.html:599, :613, :647, :700 (and :348) — still a small, well-specified piece of work: role="group" + aria-labelledby on the three div.radio-group/div.weekdays-checkgrid containers and the attendee row, or <fieldset><legend>.

    Working tree restored, git status --porcelain empty.

    Automated attempt stopped without a change: Agent reported blocked: Fix complete: the five orphan caption labels (Arbeitstage, Wiederholen am x2, Ende der Wiederholung, Teilnehmende) became div captions referenced via role="group" + aria-labelledby on their control containers, with role-based Playwright tests and the #168 test updated to the new tag. Blocked because the Playwright webServer refuses to start: the shared /tmp/webcalendar-e2e/webcalendar.db holds a key-check written with a different key (the #333 guard), so a human must delete /tmp/webcalendar-e2e/ (and ideally give each worktree its own e2e DATABASE_PATH) before the driver re-runs.
