Abstract: This short paper reports on two key aspects for designing accessible online forms for the young elderly: (i) distinguishing between required and optional fields and (ii) usability of checkboxes, radio-buttons and list-boxes. Two hypotheses are tested with seven young elderly people in the course of designing a website for an old-age pensioner association. Separating required and optional fields into two sections is easier for the young elderly to understand and use than the current “asterisk” strategy which is invisible to them. Checkboxes and radio-buttons are easier for the young elderly to use than list-boxes because the latter requires a larger number of clicks in selection tasks. The results initially confirm both hypotheses, which should become requirements for designing accessible online forms for the older population.
