Web form

Web form
E-com
a means of collecting information from a visitor to a Web site in a structured manner. Once the consumer has filled in the form, it is usually returned to the owner of the Web site via e-mail.
     There are several golden rules to follow when designing a Web form. It should be short or, if necessary, split into clear sections. Mandatory fields—such as e-mail addresses—should be clearly marked, conventionally with red type or red asterisks. Consumers should be given an alternative for information they cannot give—for example: “If you don’t have a ZIP code, please write ‘None.’” Errors should be isolated: if the consumer makes an error in the form, they should be asked to correct that specific error, not simply have the form returned to them. Fields should be of sufficient size for all the requested information. Alternative means of providing the information should be made available for people with disabilities.
