RE: Pop-up window on field

Maybe this is something similar to what i am currently thinking about ...

This is what i have in mind:
I want to add 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 "Description" of the attribute. The popup disappears either when
the mouse
is moved out of  the popup area, or when the popup is clicked. The 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 ? additions, complains other directions ? 

regards,
hussayn
