Nice UX/ usabaility tips/links from John Van Der Loo, our front end developer. Enjoy
When we’re designing forms there are some simple things to keep in mind with regards to the UX and usability side of things that will make them that much better for our audiences.
Good Usability has two very useful articles about validation and preventing issues on web forms, well worth a read.
Preventing issues on web forms: http://www.goodusability.co.uk/2010/03/preventing-issues-on-web-forms/
Form validation: http://www.goodusability.co.uk/2009/08/form-validation/
Alistapart has an article regarding inline validation that shows us the wonderfulness of using real-time inline validation vs. validating by submission. By giving people an indication that their input is correct (or not) while they are filling in a form results in a far greater success rate and of course there is a much better experience for users.

- UI Scraps
- UX Booth
- Smashing Magazine has a few articles about usability and user experience that are worth reading.
