    Can anybody test please if those checkbox hints are accessible? https://s.codepen.io/martindrzka/debug/7125aa886e5cd71eac48a014e92ebbe3 Seems it works well on Safari + Voiceover but I can't test other combos (Jaws/NVDA)…

    Hmm the hint is announced only after the interaction... any ideas? I've also tried change of aria-describedby value to hints but without result…

    [spell] Hey all, what is the general best practice around using <fieldset>? I have always thought that if you are using more that one group and each group is distinctly different from one another, then that would warrant use of <fieldset>. But if I had, for example, a singular search form with two text boxes and drop down (keyword, location, radius), then I would not need to use <fieldset>, right?

    I tend to use a fieldset for things like a series of radio buttons or checkboxes that are related. Not for general groupings of regular fields

    [spell] Another question! Gosh I'm on fire today (pun intended because I'm American), required aria-required="true" - are both needed on a text input these days?
