Creating Attractive, Usable and Accessible Forms
Speaker: Rob Huddleston
An increasing number of web sites today use forms, and yet there seem to be many more examples of bad form design than good. This session will discuss how to make forms that are visually attractive, accessible and usable. We’ll talk about several of the lesser-known but necessary form controls such as fieldsets, legends, labels and buttons. We’ll show how CSS can be used instead of tables to lay out forms and make your forms visually stunning. We’ll also talk about the do’s and don’ts of form usability and accessibility.
You can view the recording of the presentation if you'd like, but unfortunately something happened and there's no audio for the second half.
You can also download a copy of the PowerPoint slides and access a link to the code for the CSS portion from Rob's website.
