Description

Forms which only have submit buttons such as the post delete confirmation are an accessibility problem. The specific problem is that in forms mode a screen reader will only read out form elements i.e. the submit button. The solution is to add a checkbox with an appropriate label e.g. [checkbox] Delete post by Fred posted on Today. By making it a required field it also creates an extra barrier against accidental submits.
