Field description

Description of form fields

Text, textarea, list, password, captcha and checkbox fields can be described.

On the rendering side, by default (overloadable at skin), the description is inserted in the "label", in the form of a tooltip. The HTML product is :

<div class="label">   
    <label id="Ametys_Gen_1_label" for="Ametys_Gen_1">Nom   
       <span title="Votre nom et votre prénom en majuscule" class="input-help">   
          <span>Aide</span>   
       </span>   
       <span class="mandatory-marker">*</span>   
    </label>   
</div>   

<div class="label">   
    <label id="Ametys_Gen_1_label" for="Ametys_Gen_1">Nom   
       <span title="Votre nom et votre prénom en majuscule" class="input-help">   
          <span>Aide</span>   
       </span>   
       <span class="mandatory-marker">*</span>   
    </label>   
</div>   

<div class="label">   
    <label id="Ametys_Gen_1_label" for="Ametys_Gen_1">Nom   
       <span title="Votre nom et votre prénom en majuscule" class="input-help">   
          <span>Aide</span>   
       </span>   
       <span class="mandatory-marker">*</span>   
    </label>   
</div>   

Example of rendering with the skin demo:

It is possible to display the tooltip to the right of the fields. To do this, override the "form-input-description" template, which is empty by default.

The template that renders is form-field-description
The template that renders at the label level is form-label-description and by default it just calls form-field-description.
