nice, that looks great :-) reminds me of a real paper form. i agree w/all the points about placeholders ... clicking on a field and forgetting what the instructions were happens more often that you'd think ... for some of us at least. relative parent + absolute child is a wicked combo ... and the basis of the GWT2.x layout system. i see too many Npx in that CSS file tho ... em and % will go much further, albeit at slightly more work in some places (and less in others) ... ... it's relatively little known that CSS is, in fact, awesome :-) fewer impl variations/bugs, and more constructs like variables/placeholders/etc, and it'll be superb. it's rapidly moving into the desktop/general-layout space (gnome3/windows8/??) so we'll see what happens. -- C Anthony
