It is mostly challenging to build table-less, semantic forms that look good & work cross-browser.

RMSforms is a CSS framework for making this process easier.

Considering forms are a list of elements, the framework uses unordered lists for grouping items & style them accordingly.

The layout of the forms & how labels are displayed can be set to be horizontal or vertical by simply updating CSS classes used.

The demo shows outputs of multiple combinations to better see what can be accomplished with RMSforms CSS framework.

Secure input and data handling is hard when it comes to HTML because of many different types of malicious code (XSS).

HTML Purifier is a well documented, standards-compliant HTML filter library written in PHP. It simply:

• Removes all malicious code (better known as XSS) with an audited, secure yet permissive whitelist.
• Makes sure your documents are standards compliant. 

HTML Purifier requires PHP 5  (PHP 4 versions are not supported any more but can be downloaded). It saves so much time while developing & offers much more expertise than most of the self-coded data-handling libraries as HTML Purifier is concentrated only in this area.

This open source secure data handling solution also has a comparison chart wih other HTML filters.

Some community-written plugins for CMS softwares, WYSIWYG editors can be found in the HTML Purifier website.

Dynamic form autocomplete code, named TextboxList, is built on Mootools javascript framework and works just like the Facebook form inputs that are very functional.

TextboxList works by caching all the results from a JSON Request and feeding them to the autocompleter object. When an item is added as a box, it’ removed from the feed array, and when the box is disposed it’s added back, so that it becomes available in the list when the user types.

This dynamic form autocomplete solution has a "without autocomplete" version that can be found here.
