      Description

      Related to WCAG level A criteria 1.3.1: info and relationships

      In the context of a search form, e.g. with the default search fulltext input

      Source Code
      <input autocomplete="off" placeholder=" " readonly="" autocapitalize="none" autocorrect="off" aria-describedby="" aria-labelledby="paper-input-label-94" type="text" role="button" aria-haspopup="listbox">

      Description
      The form control is not correctly associated with its visible label either explicitly or implicitly.

      Recommendation to fix
      RULE :
      Labels MUST be programmatically associated with their corresponding elements.

      HOW TO FIX:
      Fix this issue by using ONE of the following techniques:
      1. Explicit label: Under most circumstances, the best technique is to use the <label> element with the for attribute. The value of the for attribute is the id attribute value of the <input> element.

      <label for="fname">First Name:</label>
      <input type="text" name="fn" id="fname">

      2. Use an aria-label attribute or title attribute on the <input> to provide a label when there is no visible label.

      <input type="text" aria-label="search"> <input type="submit" value="Search">

      3. Use an aria-labelledby attribute on the <input> to reference a visible label. The value of the aria-labelledby attribute is the id attribute value of the visible text label.

      <span id="nickname">Nickname:</span> <input type="text" aria-labelledby="nickname">

      4. Implicit label (explicit label method is strongly preferred): Wrap the form element within the <label> element.

      <label>First Name: <input type="text" name="fn"></label>
