Digital Hall of Fame ARIA-Invalid Audit for Search and Nomination Errors
A digital hall of fame ARIA-invalid audit is a structured review confirming that every search query field and nomination form input on your recognition platform correctly exposes its validation-error state to assistive technology through the aria-invalid attribute—and that aria-invalid is paired with aria-errormessage so screen reader users hear both that a field is invalid and exactly what must be corrected. The short answer for school administrators, athletic directors, IT teams, and recognition-program owners: open each search form and nomination form on the platform; trigger a validation error on every field through intentional bad input or empty submission; use browser developer tools to confirm that each invalid input carries aria-invalid="true" alongside an aria-errormessage reference pointing to a visible, populated error element; verify that aria-invalid is removed or reset to "false" once the user corrects the input; and test the complete error-and-recovery flow with NVDA or VoiceOver before the next nomination period opens or search functionality is updated.
