The presentation by Phil Kragnes, Computer Accommodations Program, and Tonu
Mikk, Disability Services, will cover accessible HTML forms and the

They will cover the components of accessible forms. Topics for
demonstration and discussion include the following areas:

   for> tag.
   - Structurally grouping and labeling sets of related form elements using
   the <fieldset> and <legend> tags.
