The University of Northern Iowa is committed to protecting the data entrusted to its care. An easy and relatively transparent way to aid in achieving this goal is the encryption of hard drives used on university-owned computers. Whole Disk Encryption (WDE) works by converting the data stored on the drive in such a way that it is undecipherable without the decryption key, thereby protecting the data from theft if the computer is stolen or operated by an unauthorized person. When an authorized user starts the computer and logs in, their passphrase permits the computer to decrypt the contents...

Text Fields
Text fields (single row, not the multi-row Text Areas) should generally always be set to be inline, so the label is next to the Text Box, not above it. It shortens the length of the form and in most cases improves the layout.
Using Proper Fields
When creating fields in a form, be sure you're using the proper Field Type for each one.
In the case below, a Text Field type was used for an email field. Email fields should always use the Email Type. That allows the developer to also set a reply email field to the person submitting the form.
Date and/or Time are other field...

The information below are the best practices we try to adhere to when creating web pages. Some of them are to provide a better experience with mobile devices or for users with a screen reader. Others are for general user experience and readability.
Content Layout and Presentation
Limit use of divs and inline styles in the body of a page to keep the look and feel consistent. Use the Remove Format tool in the WYSIWYG editor to remove inline styles from a page that has a lot.
Don't use tables for layout, tables should only be used for presenting data that needs to be in a table...

Before selling or discarding an old computer, or throwing away a disk or CD, you naturally make sure that you've copied all of the files you need. You've probably also attempted to delete your personal files so that other people aren't able to access them. However, unless you have taken the proper steps to make sure the hard drive, disk, or CD is erased, people may still be able to resurrect those files.
Where do deleted files go?
When you delete a file, depending on your operating system and your settings, it may be transferred to your trash or recycle bin. This "holding area" essentially...
