    What’s wrong with this form? Hint: if you’re going to provide address lookup, make it the 1st item & save effort #uxpic.twitter.com/cLUVo1fwvj

        @aral My favourite recent form—BA site rejecting input because I put a space in a phone number. Clearly tough to engineer around, right?

        @CraigGrannell Almost impossible I’d say. If only there was a predictable way to strip spaces from input.

        @aral correct me if I’m wrong, but that lookup address button isn’t big enough. With Web 3.0, buttons need to be 3x the size.

        @aral to be fair - that might be down to the version of the PAF data they have. Not al versions verify to house number level :-(

        @petehotchkiss @pilky The form works when only the post code is entered. So it is an info architecture issue.

        @aral your point makes sense, but you wouldn’t be able to get the first 3 items on base of the post code.

        @JCBK I’m not saying remove those items. I’m saying layer it correctly so that the auto lookup feature is the first option.

        @aral but why? The user will have to fill those in manually anyway.

        @aral I can see their thinking though. You need a house number and postcode to lookup an address

        @pilky @aral You need house name/number+postcode. & the flat is useful, mine usually isn't listed so have to do manually, after lookup :/

        @mennenia @pilky Not saying they are unnecessary. The order is wrong. Auto‐lookup should be first option.

        @aral @pilky I know &definitely see your point! But need to fill out postc+num before clicking autolookup right? So order makes sense to me?

        @aral lookup does not identify your house number/flat, so wouldn't call this a mistake. But first free fields could be collapsed into 1.

        @aral but, but, but it fits next to the short zip field. Isn’t that a good enough reason
