Good forms

Dave Rupert compiled a list of properties that should play a role for good forms. Among the many, here are the last five points from Dave´s list:

• Good forms make the baby Jesus smile
• Good authenticated forms should have a server-generated nonce value
• Good forms should do a pre-flight check for navigator.onLine before attempting a submit
• Good forms start with accent-color for styling and only get more complex if necessary
• Good forms see custom controls as a radioactive asset that must be removed at the earliest opportunity

Dave mentions some valuable references to other form ambassadors:

• Web Form Design by Luke Wroblewski
