Forms Don't Have to be this Complicated
HTML Forms have made huge strides in recent years, with AJAX and HTML5. Unfortunately, our tools to make them haven't been keeping up. Since Forms have been talked to death many times before, I'll touch only briefly on the new stuff available in HTML5, and where current form builders (Rails' FormBuilder and Formtastic) fail. I'll give an overview of a library I wrote to ease the pain, Mold, as well as some best-practice techniques for dealing with complicated, nested forms.
