Usable Forms for the Web
Forms are an integral part of many web sites, whether they are registration forms, feedback forms, or order forms. However, forms are time consuming for the site user to fill out, and need to be implemented to be as usable as possible, otherwise they can be frustrating and annoying, spoiling the user experience.This book takes all the hassle out of implementing forms in whatever way you wish, dealing with client-side forms in HTML and Flash, client- and server-side form validation, and server-side data processing. It provides code samples fully adaptable to your own needs, along with walkthrough tutorials on how they work, and an HTML form element reference.

Usability: The Site Speaks for Itself
This book features case studies in usability and information architecture from the makers of eBay, SynFonts (a Flash-driven font foundry e-commerce site), the BBC News Online site, Economist.com web site, evolt.org (a peer-to-peer web professional site) and MetaFilter.There are no hard-and-fast rules for usability on the Web, which is why this book steers away from the rigid prescriptions of gurus. Instead, it looks at six very different, but highly usable sites. The web professionals behind these sites discuss the design of each from their inception to today, how they solicited and responded to feedback, how they identified and dealt with problems, and how they met the audience's needs and expectations.
This book is edited by Molly E. Holzschlag, a member of Web Standards Project (WaSP) and author of a dozen books on web technologies, and Bruce Lawson, glasshaus brand manager.
