That’s pretty good. I personally think it’s a little bit of div overkill. I like using an unordered list (See here) to keep my form in order. But I guess there is no “right” way to go about this. Just whatever works for you and/or the project you’re working on.

Great link. Forms is the one area I know my HTML coding needs to improve. I honestly don’t even know what the ‘proper’ coding should look like in a form. Off to read the article

After spending the last few months refining our forms I opted for definition lists . Holds the label, and holds the form input.

Whoops. Last post dropped the dd and dt code syntax.
