Re: Quick Tips Form

> in the past week telecom (dec 10), EOWG approved Quick Tips Form.

Pasquale,

Unfortunately I was not able to participate in that meeting. Because I would like to be able to point to this form as a shining example of a well-designed, accessible form, I hope you are open to some more suggestions.

* It looks like the font inside the form fields is still not scaling, per Andrew's comment from http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-eo/2004OctDec/0121.html:
3. The edit boxes require font size specified so that the size of font in
the edit box changes as well. For example, currently when View > Text Size >
Largest is selected in IE, text within the edit boxes does not increase
accordingly. (AA suggest code such as <input type="submit"
style="font-size:100%" />)

* I think it would be simpler not to have a fieldset around the entire form. How about instead put <h3>Order Form</> within the gray box. That would simplify the number of fieldsets and borders around the form, and put the form label as a heading so it can be easily found by screen reader users going through headings.

* Is it necessary to have a fieldset around the Submit button? It seems it would be simpler without the fieldset.

* I think it would look much better if the fields were aligned, for example, see attached.

* What about simplifying "To submit the order (you will receive a copy of the present order in your email" to instead "The Submit button sends your order to W3C and sends a copy to your e-mail address above."

* What do you think about hyphenating "E-mail"? I think it is more readable that way.

* How about changing "e.g.," to "for example," ?

* Add "if" to "Deadline: (fill only if..." so it becomes "Deadline: (fill in only if..."

* Correct "QuickTips" (one word) to "Quick Tips" (two words)

* can you try to simplify the styles. I would prefer to use the default font sizes and such where feasible. Also, I think you can eliminate the following:
	- body {font-size: 1em;}
	- .strong {font-weight: bold;}

Thanks again for your work on this!

Best,
