Hi Alex,

We basically wanted a hint on the label to say "this input is for doing x" when you hover over the label and then when you hover over the input box, it displays the current value.  We do this because we have a very long value but we don't have that much screen real estate. :)

Thanks,
Stephanie

Like Ethan said, you can only have a <xforms:hint> for the control, not for the label of the control. I am a bit puzzled as to what you trying to do displaying the value of the input in the hint. If the value is in the hint, then it won't be editable, right? Then wouldn't you want to have an <xforms:output> instead? Would you like to have the value displayed both in the text field, and next to it in a hint?
