How do hide/disable popup hints

Chris Bailey-2
Hi Orbeon Team,

As a fan of the older hint display mechanism (displaying the text with
curly brackets next to the input control) I was wondering how to disable
the popup control which can become disorientating to users if you have
large amounts of text to display.

Regards,

Chris.

Good question :). For now, there is a "secret feature" you can use: add
a class="xforms-disable-hint-as-tooltip" on your <xhtml:body>. This will
disable the new tool-tip behavior for hints. Obviously this should be
set through a property rather than a class, so keep in mind that this
might change in the future. The text of your hint is produced in an HTML
label as usual, so showing it is just a matter of adding your own CSS to
override the display: none in xforms.css.
