Description: ------------ It's common for some fields to be confusing to a user (such as entering last 3 digits on the back of a CC), so I was required to implement "helpInfo" for my project - I think this should be part of the base QF package. Modifications: *element.php *var $_helpInfo added, with getters/setters *Renderer/Default.php *function renderElement modified *function _prepareTemplate modified (new signature) *custom template updated of course, to add a third colum to table output in default renderer Reproduce code: --------------- var $_elementTemplate = "\n\t<tr valign=\"middle\">\n\t\t<td align=\"left\" width=\"20%\" ><!-- BEGIN required --><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">*</span><!-- END required --><b>{label}</b></td>\n\t\t<td align=\"left\"><!-- BEGIN error --><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">{error}</span><br /><!-- END error -->\t{element}</td><td align=\"right\">{helpInfo}</td>\n\t</tr>"; var $_helpInfoTemplate = "<span style=\"border: 1px dotted #ccc; padding: 5px; width: 100px; background-color: #c09; color: white;\">{helpInfo}</span>"; --- // sm 05/07/2004 10:46AM test helpInfo $form->addElement('text', 'helpInfoTest', 'Help Info Test', array('size' => (FORM_FIELD_CC_SIZE + 3), 'maxlength' => (FORM_FIELD_CC_SIZE + 3))); $elem =& $form->getElement('helpInfoTest'); $elem->setHelpInfo('this is some here help info, bro'); Expected result: ---------------- a purplish box, aligned to the far right with helper information inside to explain what that form field is all about

Note, that this solution works for groups as well (because HTML_QuickForm_group extends HTML_QuickForm_element). If you want my code to poke at my code, it is available here: http://www.badunka.com/files/QuickForm.zip I will notify you via this bug report if I update it (going to review it later today)

Have you tried looking at the enclosed example: docs/renderers/multiple-labels.php?
