Um, there's no sample image at the top of the page that the text is referring to... Arden 10:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Select

The description of select is misleading. 'Select multiple="multiple"' is not a dropdown menu (it can't be, obviously). However, I'm struggling to think of a short and concise way of wording it. Perhaps someone else can have a go at making the following's information more readable:

select – a list (either as drop-down, for single-select, or linear list for multiple-select) that displays a list of items a user can select from

The example image caption should not say ``rendered by Mozilla Firefox

IMHO the example image caption shouldn't say ``rendered by Mozilla Firefox:

actual rendering is done by a rendering engine
rendering will vary amongst versions
starting with Firefox 3.x, form elements are being rendered to resemble the native environment, so that e.g. Mac OS X and KDE will differ dramatically —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rdancer (talk • contribs) 17:23, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should the example form rendering image be updated?

The example image lacks the elegance of contemporary web pages. This is obvious from the programming point of view, because the code is an unadorned HTML, but the unassuming reader may not appreciate this, and it may be useful (unless it is required to illustrate history of forms) to use a contemporary example styled with CSS and whatnot, maybe a fragment of an actual form in use somewhere prominent?

History of web forms

This article may benefit from a history section explaining who invented web forms, when the first HTML based forms were used and which software first supported them, and more. HTTP Cookies article has a similar history section. mmj (talk) 03:43, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

XForms

This article seems to almost exclusively deal with HTML web forms, but XForms are an alternative standard for expressing forms on the web, albeit poorly supported and rarely used. The article could be modified to give a more general overview of web forms. mmj (talk) 03:43, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

XForms are indeed a different thing, and already have a large article dealing with them at XForms. --VinceBowdren (talk) 10:21, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
