A quick note on form elements and tab ordering: if you are going to include links inside the form to provide more information on what a field is doing, you MUST unequivocally and without question, absolutely with no exceptions, positively set the tab ordering on your form so that those links are not included in the ever-popular keyboard shortcut of tabbing to the next item in the form.
Breaking the flow of "enter data - tab - enter data - tab" by highlighting help text interrupts the user's expectations, possibly to such an extent that said user will stop mid-form to write about it on his blog!
