Improve Form Usability
The JQuery Way
I just read an article on how to improve form usability with auto messages. Antonio did a great demonstration. These kinds of things can really spruce up a form. He used prototype and scriptaculous so I thought it would be a good idea to show a similar demo using JQuery.
You can find the demo here. Just do a view source to see the code. I think this could make for a great plugin. I'd be willing to bet something already exists. If anyone knows please let me know. Otherwise, maybe it would be a good plugin to write. Example usage I'd like to see might be something like:
$('#email').message('Add your email address to sign up!',
{delay:500, effect:fade});
The array would be optional and it would accept built in or custom defined effects.
