Online help - tooltips

I support this idea. The tool tips is useful on the field name as mentioned above, since field names are dynamic,

depending on which table and often we need to tell user what is it for.
As such the precious real estate on each field putting the meaning of the field with a

mouseover is useful. While the current tool tip is about sorting the data, is static. It can be placed

below at the page, as an option or somewhere else.
Currently, I always have to write comments about the the field and some instructions below the page.

But when reset the page, i loss them.
I also did a mouseover script to implement the above idea, but after couple of reset, i give up,

as it's hard to maintain it. I ended up writing at the bottom as plain text for explanation of the fields.
it will be really useful to have that as built in and save us from reset inconvenience.
Pls consider that, thanks.

I agree and vote for this to be a new feature in next version of PHP Runner.
It would be very helpful to have an option in all of the control types properties settings that would allow us to type in a description or instructions for end users accessing our web forms.
I think since xlinesoft value proposition is precisely that of helping developers bypass tedious and repetitive code that typically is generated by hand this would be a perfect addition to the software.
Best,

It is quite useful to have the possibility to update the tooltips without having to rebuild the project so would be great if the toll tip data could be extracted from an xml file, that way, we can edit and update the displayed information without having to maintain a table for it.

This requires some xml template for the tooltips. It would also be quicker as there is no need to do a database query to retrieve the information and have to cache it.

there might be good reasons to want to keep the tool tips data in a table which can be easily updated through an ASPR/PHPR list page.

Yes, i vote for this and brought this up earlier that the mouseover list page field showing

multi-sort tips can be used for this purpose. And also similar implementation for edit and add form

fields would help developer like us alot.
Currently i have to insert [?] beside the field to let user understand what is

the field about. This makes it difficult to manage when i have to reset the page in visual editor.

Would be nice if this script (free even for commercial SW) could be implemented in ASPRUNNER

Also useful for large projects to have various menu choices. The left menu itself should/could be foldable (can be hidden and expanded from left to right) this way the use can make more space for the list/edit pages.
