Tooltip for forms



Script Description :



Displays a tooltip next to form elements when the element receives focus.
Configuration
Include files


First, you need to include the js files and css files as in the demo(form-field-tooltip.html)
Define tooltip text


Tooltip text is something you add manually to your <INPUT> or <TEXTAREA> tags by creating a tooltipText attribute. Example:


<input type="text" id="firstname" name="firstname" tooltipText="Type in your firstname in this box">
Initialize and configure the script


At the bottom of your page, add code similar to this:


<script type="text/javascript">
var tooltipObj = new DHTMLgoodies_formTooltip();
tooltipObj.setTooltipPosition('right');
tooltipObj.setPageBgColor('#EEE');
tooltipObj.setCloseMessage('Exit');
tooltipObj.initFormFieldTooltip();
</script>


Which methods you want to call depends on what you need. Look at the complete documentation for more help.
