Hi Jarda,
Looks good, as usual!
A few nits, though I think they're largely personal opinion:
- I think the "?" for tooltips should be closer to the input. Maybe on
the other side of the label? Or maybe on the right of the input? It's
just where I would look for it.
- While using a "*" to mark required inputs has a lot of precedent, it's
also sometimes used to denote fine print or a footnote. Would it be
clearer if we used bold text for required fields, maybe?
I wonder about the markup, though. Will a developer building a form need
to deal with creating a .control_group that contains a .left_column and a
.right_column? It seems like this could be error-prone. Or will the form
library we discussed automate this?
The Date input does not work in my browser.
Overall, this is great, though. It looks both aesthetically pleasing and
intuitive.
