CSS: form-field-messages

.instui-form-field-messages — Field help and validation messages — hint, error, success, and screen-reader-only — with a glyph on error and success.

Source: form-field-messages.css

Accessibility

A -type-screenreader-only message is visually hidden but stays in the accessibility tree, so it's still announced; pair error and success messages with the field via aria-describedby so assistive tech reads them with the control.

Usage

@import "@pantoken/components/components.css";
@import "@pantoken/components/form-field-messages.css";

Examples

<div class="instui-form-field-messages">
  <span class="instui-form-field-message -type-hint">We'll never share it.</span>
  <span class="instui-form-field-message -type-error">Enter a valid email address.</span>
</div>

We'll never share it.Enter a valid email address.
