Viseca contact form #2: How to design a birthday form field
My last blog post was about the yellow checkbox in this contact form by the Swiss credit card company Viseca, but wait: there’s more. The next hurdle in contacting them is a birthday form field. First of all I’m confused that they need my birthday date for a simple inquiry, but that’s another story.
1. On a Mac with Firefox the form-field is not long enough to show a full birthday date like 16.12.1966 (even though on Windows 7 the field has the correct length)
2. A date-picker does not make much sense for a birthday date (it even contains a very useful “Today” button).
Conclusion: It would be better to tell the user in what format the birthday date should be written. See here an improved version of the birthday field:
