Nowadays everybody knows that javascript can be used to validate input data in HTML forms before sending off the content to a server. Despite of that, when there are many fields in the form, the JavaScript validation becomes too complex and boring to code. That’s why fValidator exists, with it form validations are many times easier. fValidator is compatible and tested in Internet Explorer, Firefox (and its mozilla friends), Opera and Safari.
*** It works perfect with iMask as it’s complement.
Requirements: Any Modern Browsers

NicEdit is a Javascript/AJAX inline content editor to allow easy editing of web site content on the fly in the browser. It integrates into any site in seconds to make any element/div editable or convert standard textareas to rich text editing.
NicEdit was created as an alternative for the complexity, many files and large download size (> 200KB) of popular WYSIWYG editors such as TinyMCE and FCKEditor. It implements many of the standard rich text features like these editors but is easier to integrate without impact on download size. Small file size <35KB Total, <10KB Compressed! Only 2 files (js + icons) required for operation.
Requirements: IE 5.5+, FF 2+, Opera 9+, Safari 3+

Uni-Form is an attempt to standardize form markup (xhtml) and css, “modularize” it, so even people with only basic knowledge of these technologies can get nice looking, well structured, highly customizable, semantic, accessible and usable forms.
Plug and play style. Download the uni-form.zip and you’re pretty much all set! It is encouraged to edit css properties only in the uni-form.css file, so you can easily upgrade to the newer versions as they come along by copying over the old copy of the uni-form-generic.css.
Requirements: IE6+, Firefox 1.5.x+, Opera9.x+, Safari, Konqueror

Frequency Decoder had an attempt at creating a keyboard-accessible, unobtrusive slider control that conforms to the WAI-ARIA defined role of “slider“. The code uses a BUTTON element for the slider handle which automatically makes it keyboard accessible across all grade A browsers. The slider can be associated with both text input and select list form elements. The script is now released under a creative commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 license.

In 2005 Veerle wrote an article about styling a table with CSS. After receiving so many requests Veerle decided to give in and write another tutorial called A CSS styled table version 2. Seems like a popular topic and an interesting one to share some tricks on how you can nicely style them. A CSS styled table version 2 is about the proper usage of tables, for tabular data. How you can implement them with accessibility in mind and how to make them appealing for the eye using CSS. The styling looks stunning and I think you can use it when designing tables or even forms for your websites.
