Javascript and CSS tricks for Forms

Simon Willison has written a nifty article on Simple Tricks for More Usable Forms. To quote:

Web developers loathe the task of building forms almost as much as users loathe having to fill them in. These are both unfortunate facts of the Web, but some smart JavaScript and intelligent CSS can go a long way to remedying the situation.

As someone who builds lots of forms, I'll second Simon's sentiment. And, I'll try to incorporate some of Simon's hints in my next form-heavy project.
