The <code><form></code> element defines a <code>form</code> landmark when it has an accessible name (e.g. <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-labelledby"><code>aria-labelledby</code></a>, <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-label"><code>aria-label</code></a> or <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/title"><code>title</code></a>). Make sure to have a unique label on each form in a document to help users understand the purpose of the form. This label should be visible to all users, not just assistive technology users. Use the <code>search</code> landmark instead of the <code>form</code> landmark when the form is used for search functionality.</p> <p>Use the <code>role="form"</code> to identify a region of the page; do not use it to identify every form field. Even if you are using the form landmark instead of <code><form></code>, you are encouraged to use native HTML form controls like <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/button"><code><button></code></a>, <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input"><code><input></code></a>, <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/select"><code><select></code></a>, and <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/textarea"><code><textarea></code></a>.</p></div></section><section aria-labelledby="associated_wai-aria_roles_states_and_properties"><h3 id="associated_wai-aria_roles_states_and_properties"><a href="#associated_wai-aria_roles_states_and_properties">Associated WAI-ARIA Roles, States, and Properties</a></h3><div class="section-content"><p>No role specific states or properties.</p></div></section><section aria-labelledby="keyboard_interactions"><h3 id="keyboard_interactions"><a href="#keyboard_interactions">Keyboard Interactions</a></h3><div class="section-content"><p>No role specific keyboard interactions</p></div></section><section aria-labelledby="required_javascript_features"><h3 id="required_javascript_features"><a href="#required_javascript_features">Required JavaScript features</a></h3><div class="section-content"><dl> <dt id="onsubmit"><a href="#onsubmit"><code>onsubmit</code></a></dt> <dd> <p>The onSubmit event handler handles the event raised when the form is submitted.
