 * In ordre to complie with wcag I am trying out contact form 7, but I have a few
   issues. When filling out the form incorrect, there is a popup message below the
   form and it works fine. Is there a way to also mark the field that has the error?
 * When using keyboard to navigate the site there is no indication that the fields
   have focus when you reach the field. Is there a way to add a border to the field
   when the user reach it using the keyboard?
 * The link is to a testpage.
 * Regards
   Nina

 * Try switching to the default theme, deactivating all plugins excluding Contact
   Form 7, and clearing all cache data.

 * I have already tried that with no luck. Still can’t figure out how to give a 
   field a noticeable outline when it is in focus or when there is an error when
   filling out a required field. This is one of the requirements of wcag 2.2. and
   I am probably not the only one needing this.

 * I figured out the outline when in focus.
 * But not how to give the field focus to show where the error is when filling it
   out wrong.
