jquery - How can I make a form label keyboard accessible? -


i have html5 form collects information , processes when user submits form. uses jquery validation plugin validate inputs and, if there errors, shows error-message-container div @ top of screen containing list of errors, , gives focus screen reader reads them out. implemented using <label for="input id error"> when user clicks on label mouse input error gets focus. this:

<form id="ts-qqw-form" action="#" method="post">     <div tabindex="-1" class="error-message-container ts-hidden" id="error-message-container">         <p>the following errors have occurred:</p>         <ul>             <li><label for="travellerage_1">please provide age of travellers.</label></li>         </ul>         <!-- ... -->     </div>     <div class="ts-qqw-section clearfix">         <h4>who</h4>          <div class="ts-qqw-question">             <label for="ts-travellers-num">number of travellers</label>         </div>         <!-- traveller number selection -->         <div class="ts-qqw-input">             <select name="insurancestepa_peoplecount" id="ts-travellers-num">                 <option selected="selected" value="1">1</option>                 <option value="2">2</option>                 <option value="3">3</option>             </select>         </div>         <div class="ts-qqw-question">             <span>age of travellers</span>         </div>         <!-- traveller ages inputs -->         <div class="ts-qqw-input ts-age" id="ts-age-container">             <input name="travellerage_1" class="ts-hidden ts-numeric field-error" id="travellerage_1" type="text" maxlength="2" data-validation-group="age">             <input name="travellerage_2" class="ts-numeric" id="travellerage_2" type="text" maxlength="2" data-validation-group="age">             <input name="travellerage_3" class="ts-hidden ts-numeric" id="travellerage_3" style="display: none;" type="text" maxlength="2" data-validation-group="age">         </div>         <!-- ... -->     </div>     <div class="ts-qqw-section clearfix">         <div class="ts-qqw-box clearfix">             <div class="submitbutton right">                 <button class="primary-cta ts-qqw-submit" type="submit">get quote</button>             </div>         </div>     </div> </form>

it works mouse isn't keyboard accessible (i.e. using tab key) @ all! problem html5 label element not receiving focus. use jquery give every label tabindex="0" think i'm missing something. how can don't have use mouse? code in error-message-container div generated jquery validation plugin, it'll difficult re-write use <a> tags.

i have searched answer in , checked possible duplicates without luck. suggestions appreciated.

thanks, michael.

your approach totally flawed. should change way doing completely:

  1. labels need visually close input fields label,
  2. visible labels need provided inputs @ times , not when there error , these labels must semantically associated input fields
  3. labels wrong semantic element click behavior, correct element link. use link.

take @ following implementation markup of labels , errors

you can @ presentation techniques use
