Adding a title attribute to a field

    I use a cool jQuery plugin called formtips to add inline text to my fields

    http://manuelboy.de/projekte/jquery-formtips/

    The info clears on focus and is not submitted along with the form. The plugin works by using the "title" of the field, for example:

    <input type="text" name="website" value="" id="website" size="40" title="website" />

    Right now I'm using the default text/clearit class tip that was mentioned on the forum before. That gets me halfway there, but the default text is still submitted to the form, which is not great.

    It would be great if I could somehow add a title to a field so that formtips can use it. Any ideas?

    You can try adding the actual title attributes with jQuery. You would probably have to define this before the other script is loaded for it to work properly.

    example:

    <script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("input#input_1_2").attr("title", "this is the title");
});
</script>

    Thanks, I'll give that a shot! That should definitely work for now, although it would be great to have something similar built into the plugin at some point so my clients can update it themselves. I understand you're considering adding inline labels, it's definitely something I'd be excited to see.

    Understood. We are planning quite a few enhancements to the existing form functionality. Additional field options & label options are on that list for sure. You'll probably start seeing some of those type enhancements in the 1.6+ releases.
