This is a blog about adventures in design, and sometimes other crap. My name is Beth Dean and I’m a web designer from Cleveland Ohio. I work for Progressive Insurance as a UX Developer.
I mostly talk about tattoos, my dogs, music, movies, and web design. I recommend digging around the archives.
Using tables and ‘definition’ lists to mark up forms is an on going debate about whether or not to include descriptions to title what the intended content is all about. From a designers or coders point of view, the table is easy to use and very standard in the way that it operates. Using definition lists however ables you to customise content more effectively.
