Howard, I highly recommend Luke Wroblewski's work on form layout & design best practice. You can find Luke's discussion article here: http://www.lukew.com/resources/articles/web_forms.html and here: http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?144
Luke is also working on a book on the subject: http://www.rosenfeldmedia.com/books/webforms/ Further discussions on label placement here: http://www.uxmatters.com/MT/archives/000107.php Also an article about contextual help approaches for Web applications: http://www.uxmatters.com/MT/archives/000170.php Lastly: Jennifer Tidwell's book "Designing Interfaces" - which is full of design patterns for standard interface elements/mechanisms. There's an accompanying site: http://www.designinginterfaces.com/ Hope that helps Steve On 15/11/2007, Howard Kim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I hope this question is appropriate for this list.
