Forms - Semi-Complex

Forms are used to collect user information. A Semi-Complex Form does includes Simple Verification of field data and there can be no more than 10 fields. Simple Verification checks that data has been entered in a required field. Complex Verification will verify that data, like a phone number is all numbers; or that a date is a valid date; etc.

Normally a form will process the user's input by either recording information in a database, a cookie or by sending an e-mail to the web site owner. Simple Forms should only be used when verification of user data is not required. Recording user data in a database or a cookie should require some form of verification which could be either a Semi-Complex Form or a Complex Form.

NOTE: The validation techniques used in these forms are done with client-side JavaScript which is not fool proof. Just one example: If the user has disabled JavaScript in their browser the validation will not work. Thus, server-side validation (which works all of the time) is the best method for form validation.

Forms don't have to be black on white.
