At An Event Apart Boston, CSS guru Eric Meyers mentioned an incredibly sensible technique for giving users a simple means of telling which fields in a form they still need to fill out: use attribute selectors in your CSS to highlight form fields which still have a default or empty value after the user submits the form.
In your stylesheet write...
input[value=""] {
background-color: #FFFFE1;
}
... and your form fields will be treated like the following...
This will color the background of any empty input field to a nice light yellow. Now your users can tell at a glance which fields they still need to fill out.
