tooltips on crud forms

[Marco Prosperi]

hi all, I would like to add tooltips to field labels or to controls in
a crud form to show the name of the underlying database field. I've
seen some thread about tooltips in the past but not coming to a clear
end (and maybe in the meantime something has been added to web2py to
manage this easily that I'm not aware of).

thanks in advance for hints,

Marco

I use ClueTip: http://plugins.learningjquery.com/cluetip/

If you want to see an example of it's integration, I call it like
this:

Copy script to /static/scripts
In my case:
http://trac.sahanapy.org/browser/static/scripts/S3/jquery.cluetip.js

Load it in views/web2py_ajax.html
In my case:
http://trac.sahanapy.org/browser/views/sahana_scripts_min.html

jQuery('.tooltip').cluetip({activation: 'click', sticky: true,
closePosition: 'title',closeText: '<img src="/{{=request.application}}/
static/img/cross2.png" alt="close" />',splitTitle: '|'});

Then add it to fields via the 'comment' tag:
db.table.field.comment = A(SPAN("[Help]"), _class="tooltip", _title=T
("MyTitle|MyHelpText."))
An example:
http://trac.sahanapy.org/browser/models/03_media.py
