HTML in hint?

Philip.Cantin
Hi All,

I am currently trying to place HTML within an <xforms:hint> statement. As mentioned in this thread:


http://www.nabble.com/Html-in-Hint-to12182515.html#a12182515


Nightly builds would now support this functionality. However, I'm finding this not working in the latest nightly build - instead, the HTML simply displays directly on the form. And when I hover my mouse over the input field to see the hint, a tiny yellow box shows up with nothing in it. I have an example attached to this post for reproduction purposes.

Is this functionality still supported in Orbeon 3.7? Thanks in advance!

Philip,

The following seems to work for me:

<xforms:hint><xforms:output mediatype="text/html" value="'Positive
&lt;b>number&lt;/b>'"/></xforms:hint>

Erik,

Okay, I see the problem now. Whether using a <xforms:output mediatype="text/html"> statement like you described above, or using inline HTML within <xforms:hint>, both seem to fail when I use the <ul>/<ol>/<li> tags.

Attached is the code I used for testing this on the latest nightly build. Please let me know if this is a bug or if there's something obvious that I missed, or if perhaps this isn't supported yet.

Thanks in advance!

Philip,

Reviving an old thread... This is probably because our hint is
implemented as an HTML <label> element, which is an inline element,
and <ul> is block element. The browser will move <ul> outside of
<label>, and things stop working. In general, this means you can't use
block-level elements directly under xforms:hint or xforms:label.
