47+ Excellent Ajax CSS Forms

Forms needs a solid visual structure, a profound hierarchy of form elements (Fields and Labels), powerful techniques and Functionality (AJAX) to make the form look and work creatively. There is a great bunch of creative, outstanding and individually designed from scratch forms.
Thanks to AJAX, we can provide real-time feedback to our users using server-side validation scripts and eliminate the need for redundant validation functions and processing data.

Let’s take a look, hopefully you’ll find new ideas you can develop further on your own.
You might be interested to check some of the designs that was mentioned in the posts below:
