The error message system that I have implimented at work is close, but not all the way there. I left out the header, just went with the list, and haven't implimented any form of setting focus on the field (whether it be via javascript on an anchor or a label tag). The jaws user who commented suggested firing a javascript alert as well, but that's just so rude I'm not sure if the benefit to disabled users outways the harm to the user experience for everyone else. Also from the comments, here's some sample friendly error text:
We were unable to process your form. Some information was either missing or not understood.
Please check the following, and submit the form again:
- The Name field can not be empty. Please enter your name.
- The Age field can not be empty. Please enter your age in years.
