More information
An obvious change in visual appearance of the incorrect form element must take place. The stronger the visual change the stronger the usability of the application.
Correct implementation: The incorrect form fields have been highlighted using an exclamation point icon.
Incorrect implementation: Even though the errors have been summarised above the form, no visual clue has been given near the incorrect form fields.
