Web developers loathe the task of building forms almost as much as users loathe having to fill them in. These are both unfortunate facts of the Web, but some smart JavaScript and intelligent CSS can go a long way to remedying the situation. In this article, I’ll introduce a number of simple tricks for improving the usability of forms, and hopefully inspire you to improve on them and create your own.
I’m going to start off with some simple tricks, before introducing the interesting stuff later on. If the material seems too simple for you, feel free to skip ahead.
It’s the Little Things that Count.
I was googling for an ajax “contact us” form to finish off a website of mine.
I found a great page with a collection of 100 ajax scripts, ranging from simple forms so complex file manager systems!
The page contains 100 examples suitable for any level of programmer.
Each example has a live demo and source code available for download.
JavaScript has its own security model, but this is not designed to protect the Web site owner or the data passed between the browser and the server. The security model is designed to protect the user from malicious Web sites, and as a result, it enforces strict limits on what the page author is allowed to do. They may have control over their own page inside the browser, but that is where their abilities end.
