Hyperlinks in field labels?

    Just getting going with GF, and so far, it's great.

    I'd like to be able to somehow provide more information on some terms that I'll be using in my questions (in the field labels). While a little hover-over question mark like you've got on the backend of plugin would be spectacular, I could live with the ability to hyperlink to other pages with the definitions if need be. Is either possible?

    Thanks. Apologies for the basic question, but I didn't see it in the documentation.

  2. The Field Label does not support HTML. This is by design as the Label should just be the name of the field. The Field Description does support HTML so you could use that.

    If you are referring to the tooltips in the admin, we are possibly going to be adding that as a feature in a future release. This would allow your front end form to have hover tooltips just like our admin has.

    Thanks, Carl. I'll put the links in the field description for now, but the hover tooltips would be super useful (and make us all look really good). Hope it makes the cut soon!

    HTML *characters* do work in field labels though?

    Things like ...
      (space)
    © (copyright)
    ™ (TM for Trademark).

    Not sure if *all* the entities do: I can only assume they must.
    It's trivial, but handy to know. Especially the ;nbsp; because it allows you to buffer the field label name with some supplementary text.
