@Matthew,

one way I could see it going is to try define what the design you're
highlighting *is* and wrap some patterns around it.. ie: what do you

I agree with both Bryan on this. In this case, I think the media is
the constraint that identifies both function and form. The function
is collection of information, and the form is whatever is necessary
to allow that with as little pain as possible. Let's face it, people
don't like to fill in form

Incidentally horizontal grouping of related fields should further reduce
scanning time of input fields with top aligned labels (compare to left or

would like to write an article summarising the different positions.
It would be great if you could spend a few minutes emailing me or

that paper and computer screens imply different restrictions and
affordances in the kinds of information you can enter, and how you
enter them. For example, if you design a paper form that's 1.2
pages long, you're going to try to reshu
