How to fix input button name on Wix

Add a visible label or accessible name to every input button so assistive technologies can announce what the button does.

Steps for Wix

  1. Wix renders most buttons as proprietary components, so empty `value` issues typically come from custom HTML widgets (Add Apps → Wix HTML iframe) or Velo (Dev Mode) custom forms.
  2. Open the Wix Editor, click on any custom HTML widget or form element that contains the offending button.
  3. If using a Wix HTML iframe: click Edit Code, locate the `<input>` tag, and add `value="Submit"` (or appropriate label).
  4. If using Welo Dev Mode: open the relevant page's code panel and locate the button component — set the `label` or `value` property to a descriptive string.
  5. For native Wix Button elements, ensure the button text field in the panel is not empty — native Wix buttons use inner text, not `value`, but the text must be non-empty.
  6. Publish and test with the axe browser extension.

What is input button name?

An "input button" is any clickable button created with an HTML `<input>` tag of type `button`, `submit`, or `reset`. Its accessible name — the text a screen reader announces when a user focuses on it — comes from its `value` attribute. When that attribute is missing or empty (`value=""`), the button has no accessible name at all. A screen reader user hears something like "button" with no description, giving them no idea what will happen if they press it. WCAG Success Criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value) requires that every interactive element, including buttons, has a programmatically determinable name.

Screen reader users — which include millions of people with visual, motor, or cognitive disabilities — cannot use your site's key actions (Add to Cart, Search, Subscribe, Checkout) if the buttons that trigger them have no accessible name. This is a direct WCAG 2.1 Level A violation, the most fundamental compliance level, and exposes your store to legal risk under ADA Title III (US), EN 301 549 (EU), and equivalent laws worldwide. Beyond legal risk, an unlabelled submit button on a checkout or contact form causes real cart abandonment and lost conversions. Search engines also look at accessibility signals as a proxy for page quality, so fixing these issues can support your overall SEO health.
