How to fix select name on Wix

Steps for Wix

1. Wix renders its own UI components and you cannot directly edit the underlying HTML of Wix-native form elements or dropdowns.
2. For Wix-native dropdowns (e.g., in Wix Stores product pages), open the Editor, click the dropdown element, and in the Settings/Design panel check whether a visible label text field exists — fill it in. Wix uses this text as an accessible name internally.
3. For any custom HTML dropdowns added via the 'HTML iframe' (Embed Code) widget, you control the full HTML inside that widget — add a proper `<label for="…">` / `id` pair as shown in the Generic HTML snippet below.
4. For Wix Forms, click the form, select the dropdown field, and ensure the 'Placeholder' and 'Label' fields in the field settings panel are filled — Wix Forms uses the label text to generate an accessible name.
5. If the unlabeled select is part of a Wix Stores filter/sort bar, contact Wix support or raise a feedback request, as those components are not user-editable at the HTML level.
6. Test any embeddable/custom HTML you control with the axe browser extension.

What is select name?

Every dropdown menu on your website (a `<select>` element — things like "Choose a size", "Select a country", or "Sort by") must have a text label that is programmatically linked to it. Without this link, a screen reader user who tabs to the dropdown hears nothing useful — just "combo box" with no context about what they're supposed to choose. A label can be a visible `<label>` tag, a hidden-but-accessible ARIA attribute, or a wrapping label element — but something must be there and connected.

Screen reader users — who include blind shoppers, people with motor disabilities, and many others — cannot use unlabeled dropdowns. This directly breaks the shopping experience: they cannot select a product size, filter results, choose a shipping country, or complete a checkout form. Beyond lost sales, missing form labels violate WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 4.1.2, which is cited in accessibility laws in the US (ADA), EU (EAA), UK (PSBAR), and Canada (AODA). Accessibility lawsuits overwhelmingly target e-commerce sites, and missing form labels are among the most commonly cited violations. Fixing this removes legal risk and opens your store to a wider audience.
