Checkpoint 7.11 - Mobile-PDA

All forms need to have Submit and Reset buttons to send the form data to the server and to allow the user to start data entry again in the form. Navigating mechanisms on the mobile device are not easy to use. This task can be made simpler for the user by assign accesskeys to each of the Submit and Reset buttons.

Requirement

Both the Submit and Reset buttons have associated accesskeys

Recommendation

Ensure that the association between the accesskey and the button is clear to the user. Keep the keypad keys used for these accesskeys consistant for all forms across the site.

Checking Tool

View all forms and ensure that the Submit and Reset buttons have associated accesskeys and that they function correctly.
