So I figured that it would be a good idea to show the content of a footnote as soon as you indicate that you are interested in the footnote. Namely, when you move the cursor over the footnote symbol.2 This allows footnotes to work on devices that don’t support mouse hovering, because you can still jump to a footnote via its link, but it removes the necessity of having to click on a footnote link for most people.

If you’re viewing this page in Internet Explorer, some of the elements have been rebuilt by the script in Vector Markup Language (VML), an IE-specific vector drawing language. VML supports things that are missing from IE’s CSS implementation like rounded corners and blur effects.

In the article, one certain section about placing labels inside of form fields stood out to me:

Because labels within fields need to go away when people are entering their answer into an input field, the context for the answer is gone. So if you suddenly forget what question you’re answering, tough luck—the label is nowhere to be found. As such, labels within inputs aren’t a good solution for long or even medium-length forms. When you’re done filling in the form, all the labels are gone! That makes it a bit hard to go back and check your answers.

Luke Wroblewski

He brings up a good point. Generally speaking, you can look at a field that says “Tim Wright” and know that it was a field for your (my) name. But for long forms, yea, I do agree that you can forget some of the questions you answered.

For best practice, Luke talks about leaving your labels outside the form field so it’s always available to the user. I do think it’s a pretty good solution, but I think we can get a little more creative than that.
