Help text for a button

I heed to display a help text for a button.

For some reason neither
<xforms:help> nor <xforms:hint> work for a <xforms:trigger>
Is there a way to display a help text, preferably an easy way.

Thanks,
Taras

Taras,

Are you sure? I have been using xforms:hint within xforms:trigger and
it works. You might want to send your form for testing in sandbox.

Hi Taras

one idea is to use an xforms:output element that references an element in your instance, e.g.

<xforms:model>
<xforms:instance ..
..
<element-name help='help text'/>
....

<xforms:output ref='element-name'>
<xforms:help ref='@help'/>
</xforms:element>

This is the shortest example I have:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html xsl:version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <xforms:model id="main-model">
        <xforms:instance id="main-instance">
             <form xmlns=""> </form>
          </xforms:instance>
    </xforms:model>
</head>
<body>
    <xforms:trigger xhtml:style="width: 320px">
        <xforms:help>Help</xforms:help>
        <xforms:hint>Hint</xforms:hint>
        <xforms:label>Submit</xforms:label>
        <xforms:action ev:event="DOMActivate"></xforms:action>
     </xforms:trigger>
</body>
</html>

This is what I get:

And this is what's produces in the xforms sandbox:

And this is correct.

So only my installation is not working...
Will have to find out why :-)

RE: Help text for a button

Please note that even in xforms sandbox there is no Hint displayed next to the submit button, only Help bubble.

Re: Help text for a button

I tested your code by running it in my local OPS and I see the hint as well as help messages (as tooltips) in these combinations of OS/browser:

Mac/Firefox 2.xx

Mac/Opera 9

Mac/Safari 2.04

Windows 2000 Pro/IE 6.0

Maybe it is something with the browser version you are using?

Same here, it seems to work, with the online sandbox as well as with the
latest CVS sandbox.

Taras, I don't think you are saying what version of Orbeon Forms you are
using. Is it recent?
