6 selected components

Forms that help people recover

Accessible form components

This collection covers the moments where forms most often fail: labels lose context, errors arrive too late, custom controls hide their state, and keyboard users cannot complete the task. Each component keeps native semantics at the center and adds enhancement only where it improves the experience.

Before shipping

Implementation checklist.

Use these checks after adapting the components to your content and application state.

  1. 01

    Keep native input semantics whenever the browser already solves the interaction.

  2. 02

    Move focus only when it helps the user locate a blocking error or new interface state.

  3. 03

    Test zoom, autofill, password managers, keyboard completion, and server-side errors.

  4. 04

    Make success and failure understandable without relying on color alone.

Implementation guidance

Understand the decisions behind the code.
