A form field is an area on a web page or in a document where you can enter information or make a selection.
Common examples of form fields include:
• Text boxes for typing your name or email address
• Checkboxes you can check or uncheck
• Radio buttons for choosing one option from a group
• Drop-down lists for selecting an item from a menu
• Buttons to submit or reset the form
Form fields are used in online forms, such as sign-up pages, contact forms, and surveys, to collect information from you. With JAWS, you can quickly find and move between these fields to fill out forms efficiently.
You can list all the form fields on a web page using JAWS. This is useful because it lets you quickly find out what information is required, easily jump to each field to fill it out, and later review your answers to make sure everything is correct.
Listing form fields helps you stay organized and ensures you don’t miss anything important on forms.
To list the form fields on a page:
1.) 1. Press INSERT+F5 to open the list of form fields on the current web page.
2.) 2. Use the arrow keys to move through the list and hear each field’s name and type.
3.) 3. Press ENTER on any field to jump directly to it on the page.
4.) 4. After filling out the form, repeat these steps to review your responses in each field. JAWS will read the details of each field as well as any information you entered or selections you made.
5.) 5. Press ESC to exit the list and return to the web page.
