| Definition |
If there is more than one form on a page, each submit and reset button must have a unique label. |
| Purpose |
- Labels that are unique make it possible for people to understand the different purposes of form controls on the same page.
submit and reset form controls have default labels and if these are present on more than one form on a page, the user may not understand which form they are submitting.
