About

That Standards Guy is the online persona of Karl Dawson, a web developer living and working in Ipswich, England.

I'm a member of the Guild of Accessible Web Designers and the Web Standards Group and team member at Accessites—an awards site to recognise accessible and usable websites.

I specialise as a front-end developer and worry about the minutae of semantic (X)HTML and CSS, accessibility, microformats, typographic rhythm and grid design. I also care about the user experience and remind myself constantly of visitor site goals when working with clients and their aims.

That Standards Guy is proudly powered by WordPress using my own “StrictlyTSG v3.0” theme. Site Policies.

CSS form design template for any layout

Good form UI is a real challenge for designers. Form elements need to be large enough that users can view and edit data, but fit within an otherwise great design. Over at CSS Zone, Joe Lippeatt provides a form element layout technique using CSS and Javascript that will shrink and grow with the available space. Although it isn’t complete, Joe provides a few code snippets from the CSS and HTML that may be useful to other developers.
