valid values for the appearance property of xf:help ?

Does anybody know what the valid values of the appearance property on xforms:help are ? I'm currently running 4.4.1 so I noticed there were some new possibilities added for 4.5 but still I don't see a complete list anywhere, I've been looking in the help and source code (but ended getting a bit lost eventually) so any hints of where to look will be much appreciated.

I'm trying to have the help display permanently as a text line below my xforms:input fields text but it's only showing the question mark with the popup dialog.

Hi Erik,

I imagine that you're asking this question in the context of forms you're writing "by hand" directly in XForms (instead of using Form Builder). You should be able to do this entirely with CSS, as the help message is just inside a , as in the example below.

<label class="xforms-label" for="xf-4≡xforms-input-1">Please enter your first name:</label>
<input id="xf-4≡xforms-input-1" type="text" name="xf-4≡xforms-input-1" value="" class="xforms-input-input">
My help message

But let us know if you're having some trouble with that.

Alex
