Web design tip: fieldset tag

The fieldset tag is a very useful tag to make a complex and lengthy form more organized and visually appealing. This technique draws a thin border around a group of form elements so the end user knows they are somehow related. This breaks up a large form into smaller sections that are easy to understand. The legend tag is used to define what text you want to appear in the upper left corner of the selected form elements. For example, if you had a form that collected information about the user, such as their name and address, you could wrap those form elements with a fieldset tag to convey to the user that those form elements are related.

The result on your browser should look like:

Mayo Clinic and IBM newsworthy

This one hits close to home. A recent headline from Computer Weekly, titled “IBM offers to cure US clinic’s IT ills” tells us that IBM and Mayo Clinic have been teaming up with each other in a project called “Blue Gene“. I just thought it was interesting that this project is garnering some publicity for the city of Rochester MN.

Aikido classes and other info

Here’s an interesting site for you people that are interested in Aikido. It’s called AikidoJournal online. They have community forums, articles, and a weblog. It would be nice if they syndicated their blog so I can tell if they have new content. Anyway, I’ve been able to attend Aikido classes for the month of July at the Aikido of Rochester, and I must admit it was quite an experience to come back in after 5 years. My timing was off and I forgot many things that I learned when I successfully completed my 5th kyu test. I think that as I progress, my timing will get back to normal. However, I will be taking a one month leave of absence because of my Masters degree studies at the University of Phoenix online. So, hopefully, one month off won’t be too detrimental.
