You would simply use the :hover pseudo-class to show the descriptions when you mouseover the containing list item with the input. You could also do it with jQuery if you wanted a fadein or transition effect, but the CSS method is simple and gets the job done nicely.</p> <p>Here's a previous post that discusses this.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/instructions-hover-to-right-hand-side#post-18767" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/instructions-hover-to-right-hand-side#post-18767</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/conditionally-displaying-field-descriptions-only-when-hovering-in-field#post-21512 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:48:45 +0000 Tom Bevington 21512@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Having descriptive text for fields ALWAYS on is visually noisy, takes up space, makes forms look overly busy, and can discourage/reduce form completion.</p> <p>Does GF have an option that lets us toggle the Field Description such that it's only revealed only when the user mouses into or tabs into the field. This is a common feature in other Forms Plugins but I've not been able to figure out how to access it in GF. </p>
