I am not following how to modify the tooltips without modifying the field title. i was hoping to also do some additional styling of the tooltips like noted at http://jqueryui.com/tooltip/

can you give some specific instruction on how to add a tooltip?


thanks

You can add title attribute to titles of your fields with JavaScript. The value of this attribute is displayed in tooltip of the appropriate element in most browsers. Here is the code:

Code: Select all

fd.field('InternalName').title()._el().attr('title', 'tooltip text') 
Please, replace InternalName with the internal name of your field. You can also include jquery-ui library with tooltip plugin into master-page and use it in your forms.

That seems really simple, but it did not work for me. The default tooltip text was not changed.

Hi. What was the fix for this.

I too have several fields that I would like this to work on but I am not having any luck.

Two of my fields are 'IMMDD' and 'DOI'.

fd.field('IMMDD').title()._el().attr('title', 'MM/DD/YYYY');
fd.field('DOI').title()._el().attr('title', 'MM/DD/YYYY');

I do not have any errors in the console log.


Thank you.

Hi,

The solution from my first comment works well. Please, make sure you use the correct internal names of the fields. If it still doesn't work, please, drop HTML-source of the form page to support@spform.com.

Hi,

with code:

Code: Select all

fd.field('InternalName').title()._el().attr('title', 'tooltip text') 
I can see the tooltip text only when moving mouse on field label. How to add it to the input field?

Unfortunately it doesn't work. For all fields as tooltips appears only field names. Is it possible to remove them?

Hi,

Do you want to remove the tooltips at all?
