How do I add accessible names to buttons?
The simplest way to add accessible names to buttons is to add text content to the button element. This displays the text on the button's visible label (and if the button doesn't have a visible label, keep reading). The text should provide the user with clear, concise information about how the element operates.
Do icons need labels for accessibility?
While it's a good UX idea, it's not required. To add that there is no need for labels on icons but 1.1. 1 Non-text Content requires that icon has a name, which can be for example alt text and can be visually hidden.
How do I make a button accessible?
Buttons should always have an accessible name. For most buttons, this name will be the same as the text inside the button, between the opening and closing tags. In some cases, for example buttons represented by icons, the accessible name may be provided from the aria-label or aria-labelledby attributes.
Can buttons have labels?
Buttons. An <input> element with a type="button" declaration and a valid value attribute does not need a label associated with it.
