HOW IS WEB USABILITY APPLIED TO WEB FORMS?

Unit 5 discussion DQ1 PHP and Form Submission Forms allow users to be able to interact with Web sites and to submit content. However, not all forms are created equally. We have all experienced forms that were too long that you gave up filing it out or perhaps ones that had fields that you did not know what should be placed into them. Consider Web usability and functionality as you discuss any two of the following: How should the fields and labels be organized on a site or a form, and in what order? How should we determine what type of input field each input should be? What input type would reduce the chances of errors? What role does CSS play in creating an effective form?
