[DESIGN] Assess the placement and label for 'Use my location'

[mmiddaugh]

User story

As a Veteran who uses assistive technology, I use my search engine either by dictating or typing in my search parameter to look for a place that I need to visit physically.

Current experience: During research sessions, some users had trouble with location input. Users may have expectations about the location of the label relative to the field. The ‘Use my location’ input may interrupt the expected flow for users

Reference: Facility Locator short-term recommendations #4

---

Tasks

• Assess the location input to ensure the label and edit box combination make sense on a screen reader.

Acceptance Criteria

• The ‘Use my location’ input does not disrupt the expected user flow

@mmiddaugh Accessibility feedback:

• Current tab order for "Use my location" button is good; this should appear ahead of input field
• The "Use my location" button screen reader text should be associated with the input field, and be given more context
  • Consider using <fieldset> and <legend> (Josh referenced this conversation with @mpelzsherman) to group relevant elements for the screen reader.
  • When grouped with label, screen reader should read "Use my location - city, state, or postal code"
