Re: [WSG] Styling forms

[Joe Ortenzi]

Has anyone looked up the HTML 5 pages on form elements?

http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/

http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#forms

It's all fieldsets and labels... which makes more semantic sense than  
paragraphs, lists, and dd/dl

The argument against marking up a form as a list is that a form is  
not a
list. A form is one or more groups of form controls, and the fieldset
element is the correct means by which form controls should be grouped.
Within a fieldset, paragraph elements should be used for individual  
form
controls.

I've been looking at styling forms and I'm seeing some people mark  
them up
as ordered lists and other using paragraphs.  What are the  
arguments for the
different markup types.
