587d778b367417b2b2512aa7	Wrap Radio Buttons in a fieldset Element for Better Accessibility	0	https://scrimba.com/c/cVJVefw

Description

The next form topic covers accessibility of radio buttons. Each choice is given a label with a for attribute tying to the id of the corresponding item as covered in the last challenge. Since radio buttons often come in a group where the user must choose one, there's a way to semantically show the choices are part of a set. The fieldset tag surrounds the entire grouping of radio buttons to achieve this. It often uses a legend tag to provide a description for the grouping, which is read by screen readers for each choice in the fieldset element. The fieldset wrapper and legend tag are not necessary when the choices are self-explanatory, like a gender selection. Using a label with the for attribute for each radio button is sufficient. Here's an example:

<form>
  <fieldset>
    <legend>Choose one of these three items:</legend>
    <input id="one" type="radio" name="items" value="one">
    <label for="one">Choice One</label><br>
    <input id="two" type="radio" name="items" value="two">
    <label for="two">Choice Two</label><br>
    <input id="three" type="radio" name="items" value="three">
    <label for="three">Choice Three</label>
  </fieldset>
</form>

Instructions

Camper Cat wants information about the ninja level of his users when they sign up for his email list. He's added a set of radio buttons, and learned from our last lesson to use label tags with for attributes for each choice. Go Camper Cat! However, his code still needs some help. Change the div tag surrounding the radio buttons to a fieldset tag, and change the p tag inside it to a legend.

Tests

tests:
  - text: Your code should have a <code>fieldset</code> tag around the radio button set.
    testString: assert($('fieldset').length == 1, 'Your code should have a <code>fieldset</code> tag around the radio button set.');
  - text: Make sure your <code>fieldset</code> element has a closing tag.
    testString: assert(code.match(/<\/fieldset>/g) && code.match(/<\/fieldset>/g).length === code.match(/<fieldset>/g).length, 'Make sure your <code>fieldset</code> element has a closing tag.');
  - text: Your code should have a <code>legend</code> tag around the text asking what level ninja a user is.
    testString: assert($('legend').length == 1, 'Your code should have a <code>legend</code> tag around the text asking what level ninja a user is.');
  - text: Your code should not have any <code>div</code> tags.
    testString: assert($('div').length == 0, 'Your code should not have any <code>div</code> tags.');
  - text: Your code should no longer have a <code>p</code> tag around the text asking what level ninja a user is.
    testString: assert($('p').length == 4, 'Your code should no longer have a <code>p</code> tag around the text asking what level ninja a user is.');
