Wufoo – Build online forms easily with this web app
Pretty Accessible Forms – It can be time consuming to make web forms both pretty and accessible. In particular, laying out forms where the form label and input are horizontally adjacent, as in the image below, can be a real problem.
Adam’s Radio & Checkbox Customisation Method – Customised check boxes using images
sIFR 3b1: The Mo’ Betta Beta – sIFR is meant to replace short passages of plain browser text with text rendered in your typeface of choice, regardless of whether or not your users have that font installed on their systems.
Revised Image Replacement – Plenty of new and interesting revisions to the original Fahrner Image Replacement technique sprouted up in late 2003. This was an attempt to consolidate them.
CSS Rounded Corners – Spiffy Corners is a simple way to generate the CSS and HTML you need to create anti-aliased corners without using images or javascript.
CSS Speech Bubbles
Even More Rounded Corners – Another article detailing a method of doing rounded corners with CSS. In this case, single-image, PNG-based, fluid rounded corner dialogs with support for borders, alpha transparency throughout, gradients, patterns and whatever else you (or your designer) could want.
Vertical Bar Graphs – Who wants to use Excel to make a new graph each week? Using CSS and PHP you can create attractive bar graphs (yes, even the stacked kind) that are always up to date.
CSS Vertical Bar Graphs – Here’s a fairly typical vertical bar graph showing a hypothetical set of quarterly data for, say, invoice and collection totals. The difference here is that the whole thing is a simple set of nested lists and CSS. Really.
Suckerfish HoverLightbox – A really creative way to show a collection of images in a gallery.
Lightbox JS – Lightbox JS is a simple, unobtrusive script used to overlay images on the current page. It’s a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers.
CSS Image Maps – Image map that’s built entirely using CSS and XHTML.
CSS Image Pop-up – This is an Pop-UP image effect that is similar to the ones you see using JavaScript on mouseover or on click but THIS ONE uses ONLY CSS!
Sliding Doors CSS Navigation – A rarely discussed advantage of CSS is the ability to layer background images, allowing them to slide over each other to create certain effects.
Taming Lists – I’ll demonstrate how to use CSS to bring unwieldy lists under control. It’s time for you to tell lists how to behave, instead of letting them run wild on your web page.
The Art of Navigation – The main purpose of this design experiment is to see how far we can push CSS. Is it possible to create the most complex navigation (in terms of graphic design) and have it marked-up as an unordered list?
Navigation Matrix Reloaded – This new experiment is, as the first one, based exclusively on graphics — therefore the same usability and accessiblity cautions apply.
Light Weight Low Tech CSS Tabs – An example of light weight tabs by combining the Sliding Doors method with the Mountaintop corners idea.
Accessible Image-Tab Rollovers – I wanted to continue to use a simple unordered list for the navigation in the markup. Much has already been said about using lists for navigation, here and elsewhere. They’re compact, lightweight and accessible to text browsers, screenreaders, PDAs, phones, etc.
