RE: [WSG] Electronic forms building software

2008-02-06 Thread Andrew Boyd
Hi Peter,

no problem :)

Just on form usability - Jessica presented at the last IA Cocktail Hour here in 
Canberra on form design - Ruth Ellison blogged on it at 
http://www.ruthellison.com/2008/01/25/form-design/ - and there is some good 
advice in that on creating usable useful forms.

Best regards, Andrew

You would be better off to look at these tutorials on Accessible
html/xhtml forms at:

http://www.webstandards.org/learn/tutorials/accessible-forms/

I know you asked about WYSIWYG tools for this but if your looking for
experience in forms then your much better off starting by learning how
to them without a WYSIWYG tool. These tutorials on the Web Standards
Project web site (after you look at the forms tutorial on

Hi all

I was wondering what WYSIWYG electronic (web and other) forms building 
software would you recommend or avoid? I'm interested in experience with 
Form Assembly, in particular.


The sorts of things I'm interested in feedback on include Wufoo, 
Icebrrg, SurveyMonkey, Zoomerang, QuestionPro, Vovici, FormSite, 
ColdFusion, InfoPath, Adobe LiveCycle and SnapForm.


Thanks in anticipation,

You would be better off to look at these tutorials on Accessible 
html/xhtml forms at:


http://www.webstandards.org/learn/tutorials/accessible-forms/

I know you asked about WYSIWYG tools for this but if your looking for 
experience in forms then your much better off starting by learning how 
to them without a WYSIWYG tool. These tutorials on the Web Standards 
Project web site (after you look at the forms tutorial on

Hi guys,

I don't think this is an on on-topic thread, but feel free to reply - 
if you can keep it to a discussion of standards.
Any off topic responses should go directly to Jessica.

warmly,
Lea
