H44.1 Incorrect Positioning Of Label (Before Field) Failure

Explanation

According to Success Criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships), most input fields should be explicitly associated with a label. Technique H44, which describes the use of label elements, states that labels should be consistently placed for each type of input field, according to expected conventions.

For text-based fields and select boxes, labels should be placed before the field - in left-to-right writing languages, this means "to the left or above" the input field. This shows several failures of this criterion, where the label has been placed after the element.
