- - - -> ### WAVE Category -> Alerts -> ### WAVE Error -> Missing fieldset -> ### What It Means -> A group of check boxes or radio buttons is not enclosed in a fieldset. -> ### Why It Matters -> A fieldset provides a visual and structural grouping of related form elements. It is typically necessary for groups of check boxes or radio buttons where a higher level description (called a legend) is necessary to understand the function of the check boxes or radio buttons. The description will be identified by a screen reader only if provided in a fieldset legend. -> ### What To Do -> Determine whether the grouping of check boxes or radio buttons has or needs text that explains the purpose of the check boxes or radio button grouping. If so, mark up the group within a fieldset and put the group description in a legend element. -> ### The Algorithm... in English -> Two or more checkbox or radio input elements within a form have the same name value, but are not enclosed in a fieldset. -> ### Standards and Guidelines -> - [1.1.1 Non-text Content (Level A)](https://webaim.org/standards/wcag/checklist#sc1.1.1) -> - [1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A)](https://webaim.org/standards/wcag/checklist#sc1.3.1) -> - [2.4.6 Headings and Labels (Level AA)](https://webaim.org/standards/wcag/checklist#sc2.4.6) -> - [3.3.2 Labels or Instructions (Level A)](https://webaim.org/standards/wcag/checklist#sc3.3.2) - -
