Hi
Thanks to all who have answered so far - much appreciated.
I just want to clarify that I have a background in forms design (both
electronic & paper based) and have read Luke's book (which I agree,
is great). I have an opinion on the question but want to make sure
that my article covers off the diversity of views on the matter. This
is why I'm interested in what you think and, in particular, your
reasons for that view.
With thanks

Subject: [bfma] Design of forms on web vs paper
I've been involved in a few debates about this question lately and
would like to write an article summarising the different positions.
It would be great if you could spend a few minutes emailing me or
posting your personal position on the following query:
"As a matter of best practice, should forms on the web be designed
to look like their paper equivalents? Why/why not?"
I recognise that this is a fairly "open" question but there are
lots of different ways that one could come at this issue and I'm
keen to hear about them all! Will send around a link to the article
when done, for future reference.
Thanks in anticipation,
Jessica Enders
