The e-mail regex needs some work - sdfg+sdf@sdff.de, which is a valid e-mail address, doesn't validate to true.

Sometimes it's best just not to bother with a regular expression. Email addresses are a prime example of where this is true.

This has been discussed to death all over the place, but I think the take home is not to be too clever rather than not to use regexes. I tend to look for 'something at something dot something':

    .+@.+\..+

I believe this allows all valid addresses (as well as lots of invalid ones, obviously). But I'm sure someone will let us know if not. :)

Shouldn't the placeholder text use the standard "placeholder" attribute of HTML5 instead of the "place" I'm seeing in the examples?

andos• 15 years ago

Yes. And the other commands that do not map to an HTML5 construct should be "data-" attributes.

And he clearly never heard of field labels :) But all together it's a nice script, yet not really standards or accessibility compliant.

Dear fellow developers, forget that type="reset" exists.

Nitpick: clicking on the text related to a checkbox or radio button should activate that form element (via the `label` element).

That's not a nitpick, that's a big fucking deal.

I don't think filling in a form online will ever be glamorous. The thing I strive for when designing a form is that it is usable by anyone and instantly recognizable as a form.

This is a great plugin, but consider the consequences of using non-browser-default form elements and the potential to confuse your less technical customers.

OT: What's with the recent prevalence of ginormous favicons? (In this case, 300 x 300?) Is there a context where the large size is a benefit? (Tablets?)

I believe that when you bookmark something to an iOS device's desktop, the favicon is the default application icon, so it makes sense to make it big and fancy in that context.

Please please don't put labels inside text fields. Once you've entered information you don't know which field it is, especially after you've filled out the entire form.

Title attribute, or a custom tooltip, resolves that.
