Hey everyone, I was thinking about this more since a form without colons appears so naked and unguided to me. Perhaps it is the type of field label alignment that we are using. I wanted to inquire whether the field alignment has something to do with your decisions to use/not use colons. I can definitely see that they're unnecessary for top-aligned fields and possibly for right-aligned fields, but for left-aligned fields (which Luke W says is recommended for a Western culture who prefer a hard edge, and especially if you want the users to think more about the information they're inputting (which as a bank that makes decisions based on the accuracy of this information, we do!), where the input textbox might be farther away from the label depending on the other label lengths, it seems like it guides the eye towards the input textbox.
Thanks again for your great feedback. Courtney Jordan ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
