Maybe this is something similar to what i am thinking about ... This is what i have in mind: I am thinking of adding a new checkmark to the attribute definition. If checked, a small icon (red question mark?) is rendered near to the field-label. If the icon is clicked, a popup opens showing the already existing field "Description". The popup disappears either when the mouse is moved out of the popup area, or when the popup is clicked. Default behaviour is "do not show informative popups", so it does not "break the scarab standards" ... I would allow HTML-syntax in the Description field so that you are free to fully style the content of the popup windows. I also would allow i18n entries in the description field, so that in principle the popup could be multi language, although this would need a little more thinking beforehand, since it involves user generated multilingual text which is currently only supported in a static way (using resource files) but here we would like to be able to define multilingual texts from the Scarab-GUI and directly use them... Could be some fancy gimick... or could break our neck ... (opinions around ?) I am about to start some work in this direction in the next days. Implementing it will be very straight forward and should be flexible enough to be usefull for many use cases. Note: This idea only applies to user attributes. What do you think about it ? regards, hussayn [email protected] wrote: > I need to explain to the users how to fill a specific field. > It's enough to have an informative note but i don't want to put the information into the label of the field. > Could you help me? > > ------------------------------------------------------ > http://scarab.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=456&dsMessageId=1179377 > > To unsubscribe from this discussion, e-mail: [[email protected]]. > -- SAXESS Software Design GmbH Neuenhöfer Allee 125 D-50935 Köln Dr. Hussayn Dabbous Fon: 0049 (0)221 56011 0 Fax: 0049 (0)221 56011 20 http://www.saxess.de http://www.cinemacchiato.com http://blog.machinimatrix.org ----------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------ http://scarab.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=456&dsMessageId=1235516 To unsubscribe from this discussion, e-mail: [[email protected]].
