When using the Google Lighthouse tool to analyze my website, it has always told me that my search field does not have a label name. How can I get a label in the HTML code for it?

Hello. Please give a link to the site page that you are checking.

You fill in these fields?

Hi Aleksej,

Page = https://www.eclectic-ware.com

I am aware of these two boxes in the program, and I do have entries in them. Lighthouse seems to not accept the labels assigned from either of these boxes as the label it is expecting. Not sure what it wants.

When in Chrome and using the Lighthouse tool, the results under Accessibility show Form elements do not have associated labels. And it is referring to the search field in my header, and the one in the footer.

se ho capito...

penso sia la stessa cosa già evidenziata e segnalata da me in questo post:

https://helpcenter.websitex5.com/en/post/232357

Per l'oggetto "cerca" il programma genera così;

<form id="imHeader_imObjectSearch_XX_form" action="imsearch.php" method="get"><fieldset><input type="text" id="imHeader_imObjectSearch_XX_field" name="search" value="" />

Per essere a norma sarà da modificare in:

<form id="imHeader_imObjectSearch_XX_form" action="imsearch.php" method="get"><fieldset><label for="imHeader_imObjectSearch_XX_field">Cerca:</label> <input type="text" id="imHeader_imObjectSearch_XX_field" name="search" value="" />

Dove mi serviva ...  io ho post-editato

Hi Claudio,

I do not understand what you wrote but I do see the added line in the HTML of <label for="imHeader_imObjectSearch_XX_field">Cerca:</label>

In the HTML for my site, one of the two culprits for this note from Google has the HTML formatted like this:

</div><divid="imFooter_imObjectSearch_02_wrapper" class="template-object-wrapper"><divid="imFooter_imObjectSearch_02"><formid="imFooter_imObjectSearch_02_form" action="imsearch.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.eclectic-ware.com/imsearch.php">imsearch.php" method="get"><fieldset><inputtype="text" id="imFooter_imObjectSearch_02_field" name="search" value="" placeholder="Search our site" /><buttonid="imFooter_imObjectSearch_02_button">Search</button></fieldset></form><script>$('#imFooter_imObjectSearch_02_button').click(function() { $(this).prop('disabled', true); setTimeout(function(){ $('#imFooter_imObjectSearch_02_button').prop('disabled', false);}, 900); $('#imFooter_imObjectSearch_02_form').submit(); return false; });</script></div>

So Google seems right, there is no 'label.'

How do I get that label tag into the HTML code? Instructions in English please.
