Fancy Form Design Using CSS
Fancy Form Design Using CSS [CSS Tutorials]
Forms. Is there any other word that strikes as much fear into the hearts of grown web designers?
I think that the reputation of forms as an untamable, ugly necessity has arisen for two reasons:
- Form elements are derived from native operating system widgets, which makes them particularly difficult to style.
- Forms are often critical to the function of a web site — they’re most often employed as search boxes, inquiry forms, or shopping cart checkouts — and need to function as smoothly as possible in order to meet user expectations.
However, it’s still possible to incorporate both these points into designing a form tailored to the style of the rest of your site. This chapter, which is fresh from The Art and Science of CSS, will explore the ways in which you can design a great-looking form, and provide you with the necessary code, which we’ll work through together.
