Got a big form on your Web site? Try these Simple Tricks for More Usable Forms. Some good tips, including a few I hadn't thought of. I must say, however, that I'm disappointed to see discussion of neither the taborder attribute nor JavaScript tricks for selecting the appropriate radio button or checkbox when the user tabs into a particular text field.
Once upon a time I had a betterforms.html document on my Web site that demonstrated similar techniques -- the difference was, this was in the days when Netscape 4 was king, so there was a lot of effort expended to do things that are trivial to do with decent CSS and HTML 4 support.
