10 CSS Form Examples : 12th March 2008
Forms can be greatly enhanced with a touch of CSS, making them more usable and far more visually attractive. Follow some of the examples below and you’ll be creating stunning CSS forms in no time at all.
This form is coded in a semantic way and the elements are positioned next to eachother except for the last fieldset which spans the full width of the form below the 3 top fieldsets. It’s been tested in FF1.x, IE6 and Opera8. (looks a little quirky in IE5.x but still usable)
2. Nice Forms
A great form, with graphical elements and colour to create a different and unique look. All done with CSS and semantic coding.
3. StylePhreak Simple CSS Form
A simple form with regular alignment and unique lines to break up the different sections. This works well as a great base to start your own custom form from.
A simple blue form with rounded background corners, all styled in CSS and XHTML. The layout is pixel perfect, and the images can be customized to match your own requirements.
5. Who says CSS forms can’t be pretty?
A unique form with soft background images to complement the fields. It highlights many form possibilities, including a pop-up calendar for choosing a date. A related tutorial also accompanies the example.
6. CSS Play – A form with style
10. A 2 column CSS form layout

Thanks for the list. Besides being attractive, quite a few of these offer great techniques in usability. I'll be checking back in when creating my next form. Thanks.
Great showcase, it's always nice to have some ideas about how to style forms and make them "work"
I think second one is best.
Thanks for the list. The second one is nice - but the version you've linked to is broken in mac safari and firefox. The new version is: http://www.badboy.ro/assets/articles/niceforms1.0/niceforms.html
