I'm trying to make our site more accessible.

I'm stuck on something - I can't find where to add a label to the search box.

The search box failed because it has no label associated with it.

These are the failure message:

Check 57: input element, type of "text", missing an associated label.

Check 213: input element, type of "text", has no text in label.

<input name="dnn$dnnSearch$txtSearch" type="text" maxlength="255" size="20" id="dnn_dnnSearch_txtSea …

I've searched all the files on the server, but the only reference to the above file: "dnn_dnnSearch_txtSea …" is only on a .CSS style sheet. I cannot find where the search box is located.

any ideas please?

(I'm on DNN version 7.4.2 using a skin called Gravity if that helps)

You need to change the skin file to add a label to the search box. You can find the following search code in the Gravity skin. 

<input name="dnn$dnnSearch$txtSearch" type="text" maxlength="255" size="20" id="dnn_dnnSearch_txtSea...

Then put the following label code before the search code. 

<label for="dnn_dnnSearch_txtSearch" style="font-size:0 !important;line-height:0 !important;color:transparent !important;">Search</label>

Thanks Linda.

However, I couldn't find the code you highlighted. 

I ran a text search in Notepad++ for that string on the entire site and it returned no results.

I ran another search for just "dnn_dnnSearch" and that did return a few pages, but all of those were just .css files.

Mark,

the code in the ascx file could be something like

<dnn:search id="dnnSearch" runat="server"...

I would add the label there...

Happy DNNing!
Michael
