			== Problem ==
			You want to allow users to enter information into the application.

			== Forces: factors that affect selection ==
			* There may not be much space. Forms elements are typically verbose and forms require at least a submit button.

			== Solution ==

			Moodle uses progressive disclosure to hide form items that are suspected to be needed a minority of users.

			On simple forms, (less than one page / four elements or less) autofocus the first field of the form on body onload
			* IF none of the fields have any changed content in them (i.e. if the user is not returning to the page from browser history, see: [http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-825 MDL-825])

			Date selection: use javascript selector (how about time?)
