That's interesting. It ties up with some of our findings on completing a form. In the case where people have to choose a title (e.g. Mr, Mrs, Dr, etc) from a dropdown list, we put 'Choose title...' as the default. We found that people missed the box, presumably because it looked like it had already been filled in. When we left the default blank, it worked better. There was in any case a 'Title' field name to the left. * Nick Gassman - Usability and Standards Manager - http://ba.com * ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
