Hi @creationell ,
I hope you’re doing well.
I’m afraid there is no option to add this type to the submit button, but it should have a CSS id like this one #forminator-submit
Could you please confirm if you’re having any specific issue with the button not having the type=submit?
I hope to hear back from you soon.
Best Regards,

Hi @wpmudevsupport3,
as far as I understood this is a good technique (not directly required, but at the same time I think this is needed) for accessibility. Screen readers announce the button’s role more clearly when type=”submit” is explicitly set. See for example Technique H32
I think this helps with the Success Criterion 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (Level A) too, since it makes the button to have a clear role. I found some info about it here too ARIA: button role.
All the best and thanks for looking into it!
Hi @creationell,
To verify this, I conducted an accessibility test on a page that includes a Forminator form and noted that it successfully passed the evaluation.
Please check the screenshot here: https://ibb.co/nMsFWd03
From what I understand, as long as the button element has a discernible text, it should be fine with accessibility.
Can you please let us know if you found it fails any tests or noticed an issue while using a screen reader?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Kind Regards,
Nebu John
Hi @wpmudevsupport14,
I found this when I was testing for accessibility and trying out silktide (addon for chrome) with the following information:
“Forms should always contain a submit button, otherwise some people using accessible technologies may not be able to submit the form. Submit buttons are elements with a type attribute of submit or image, or elements with type submit.
Rationale
Many users expect to be able to press enter in a form to submit it. However, this is not always possible. Users of some assistive technologies may (depending on the technology) only be able to press a button to submit the form. In the absence of a submit button, the user may not be able to submit the form. In addition, the absence of a submit button suggests that the form may provide an automatic ‘change of context’, i.e. major change to the user interface without the user choosing to do so. This can be highly disorientating to some users.“
What do you think?
All the best,
Elena
Hello @creationell,
I hope things are going well for you.
I appreciate all the feedback. After conducting some internal research, I found that we have an improvement task for this request. I will add this topic URL to the internal task so it comes to our development team’s attention.
At the moment, I have no ETA to share with you. However, in future updates, you’ll see the improvement for this feature.
I also suggest subscribing to our roadmap and receiving updates about our products https://wpmudev.com/roadmap.
