Screen reader issue. Limitations on number of input fields?

  • Hi,
    I’m trying to set up a contact form, to be used mainly by visually impaired people. (We make a podcast for visually impaired/blind people.)

    Almost everything is working great, emails etc. But, when navigating to the last input field of my form, the voiceover/screen reader (Jaws) goes nuts, and does not read the current label. Instead it reads all the labels used in the form.

    If I remove one input field, then the field that was a problem before, suddenly works as it should. If I insert one more field, then that does the same thing (reads all the labels instead of just the current one).

    Is there a limitation on how many fields one can use? Or what could be the problem?

    Thanks in advance!
    Martin

    The form is here (in Swedish):
    https://skanestaltidning.se/prenumerera-test

    And this is the code in WordPress:
    <b>[checkbox* e-eller-cd id:E-eller-cd-prenumerant use_label_element exclusive “Jag vill bli e-prenumerant” “Jag vill bli cd-prenumerant”]</b>

    <b>[checkbox info id:info-cd use_label_element “Jag vill ha inl?st samh?llsinformation p? cd”]</b>

    <p><b><label for=”namn”>Namn (m?ste anges)</label>
    [text* namn id:namn] </b></p>

    <p><b><label for=”adress”>Gatuadress (m?ste anges)</label>
    [text* adress id:adress] </b></p>

    <p><b><label for=”postnummer_och_ort”>Postnummer & ort (m?ste anges)</label>
    [text* postnummer_och_ort id:postnummer_och_ort] </b></p>

    <p><b><label for=”telefon”>Telefon (m?ste anges)</label>
    [text* telefon id:telefon] </b></p>

    <p><b><label for=”epost”>E-postadress</label>
    [email epost id:epost] </b></p>

    <p><b><label for=”avsandare”>Best?llningen g?rs av (m?ste anges)</label>
    [text* avsandare id:avsandare] </b></p>

    <p>[submit “Skicka”]</p>

    I am using wordpress 4.4.1.

    Try switching to the default theme. One of javascript loaded by the current theme fails with a syntax error, and it’s possible it is related to this issue.

    OK, thanks for your reply! I will try that, although even it that works, it’s not a long term solution for us. We have a heavily modified theme to suit our visually impaired visitors.
    I’ll let you know the results, I’ll try it after hours when I get a chance.
