Input Fields and Formats
- Single-line input fields are used to limit the amount of text users can enter.
- Formats can be specified to restrict types of input, such as numbers or email addresses.
Multiline Text Areas
- Allow users to enter long-form plain text without format restrictions.
- Ideal for capturing extensive responses but lack content type limitations.
Labeling Input Areas
- Labels should be placed above or to the left of input fields for better readability and clarity.
- Stacked labels, where the label is positioned on top, enhance clarity in most contexts.
- Horizontal labels are appropriate when space is limited, applicable for fewer than 10 fields.
