If you can remember the URL, what would you say is the nicest form you have seen? The use of javascript to "improve" the form is acceptable...
Nicest? I've never seen a 'nice' form. I have seen usable forms, and unusable. I've seen forms that are totally inaccessible if you're not using a graphic browser with a mouse-type pointing device. I've seen those that let you fill them in and submit with ease, no matter which UA you're using. Ease of use in any browser means table layouts are out. Only in limited designs can the labels be properly associated with the inputs in non-graphical browsers or in many phones and PDAs. No part of the form can depend on javascript. Too many people either don't have javascript, or they have it disabled. No part of the form can depend on css, for the same reason tables shouldn't be used. That leaves well structured, semantic html. The css layer enhances the visual presentation, and the javascript enhances the user experience with immediate error responses. Neither css nor javascript are required. See the form demo for an example. Or, a form with javascript validation. I don't know how 'nice' they are, but they're highly usable and accessible, and they're not ugly. cheers, gary
I've always liked mine for aesthetics and general good accessibility: http://fourshapes.com/contact-us/
