Thank you for keeping this module up so well. I spotted an article on reddit that I thought would be interesting to you for the development of your module.

Maybe there is a nugget or two in here that will make your module even better!

Thanks again,

Sam

Thanks, I wish I could keep it up much better than I have been. The 3.x version has been in development for over half a year, which has a lot of nice enhancements. However I'm super-busy and Webform doesn't get as much attention as it warrants these days.

Thanks for the link, it was an interesting read. The Yahoo signup form is one of my favorite on the internet, so it's interesting to see the negative aspects of its design (I'm already aware of the good parts). I read an interesting book on form design that'd I'd recommend for in-depth discussion: http://www.lukew.com/resources/articles/web_forms.html.

Most of the problem with Webform's current designs are not because they're unknown, but because I don't have a lot of time to implement them. Usually when I need a really well designed form, I'll build it out and then apply a significant amount of theming to make it look as I want. The Hint module (http://drupal.org/project/hint) can be very helpful in such situations, especially for things like date fields or first/last name information.
