DAP violation Each form control must have associated text

[myu1]

I am using FF10 and Dojo 1.6.1. I ran Dynamic Assessment Plugin on a page and got the violation Each form control must have associated text. We put a dijit.form.DateTextBox? with an our own icon picker to form a date picker control. This is for a radio button. Why do we have this violation? Is this a false violation due to Dojo 1.6.1?

It's likely either a bug in your page, or something that was fixed in Dojo 1.8, but impossible to tell since you haven't attached a test case or given any instructions on how to reproduce the problem.

If it still happens in Dojo 1.8 then you'll need to give instructions on how to reproduce the problem, including attaching a test case or referencing an existing (public) test case.

Ensure that you are using a <label> for form controls, or aria-label (or aria-labelledby) attributes for "composite" form controls made out of multiple page elements and aria roles. So for your DateTextBox?, give it an id, and somewhere else on the page have <label id="datetextbox">describe the form control</label>. Or if you are creating it programmatically, you could try adding "aria-label":"my label" attribute to the properties, although 1.6.1 might not handle that correctly (I know 1.8 does.)

If that person does not reply within 14 days, the ticket will automatically be closed, and that has happened in this case. If you still are interested in pursuing this issue, feel free to add a comment with the requested information and we will be happy to reopen the ticket if it is still valid. Thanks!
