Better Ways For Laying Out HTML Forms
Posted in Code, Websites or Tools
The project I’m currently working on involves creating a lot of very large and somewhat complex forms. I hadn’t investigated better ways to create HTML forms for quite a while but this seemed like the perfect opportunity to do so.
After a quick search I found a great page with some tips on how to better layout forms using CSS, and some new tags such as Fieldset, Label and Legend. This allowed me to create the forms I needed in half the time, using half the markup. The end result were forms that look at least twice as good as the forms I’d created using my old ways and means.
It just reinforces to me how important it is to keep up in IT!
