Making Forms Look Clever and Nice
The most frequent elements on a Web page are often the forms. A Web page form can be as simple as a single search box and as complicated as a detailed order form or an application. Without customization, tweaks and CSS styling the form take the default look and feel of the Web user's browser or native environment. With customization, tweaks and CSS styling a form becomes a lot more than a simple box or a drop-down.
Being nice and look smart is one thing, but making forms also clever is even better. Adding Java Script code to handle form data, visually enhance mouse movements, and focus controls is powerful stuff. Forms are often a crucial selling point and why not make them as user-friendly as possible.
There are many out-of-the-box solutions for Web page form handling. The following are jQuery plugins and snippets that work nicely with forms, making them nicer and smarter and even Ajax powered.
