Relatedly, I can't get tooltips to display at all. Using Umbraco 6 and Contour 3, I create a new form, add a field or two with tooltips, save it, view with either the previewer or add to a template or content item.
No tooltip. Can view source, the tooltip stuff isn't there anywhere.
Thoughts?
(Also, have to say I agree with other threads related to the lack of Contour help/documentation. This is the 2nd product we've purchased (Courier being the other) where the documentation was so sparse (especially for a paid product) that we finally gave up on Courier, and I'm getting equally frustrated with Contour. No tooltips showing up, the js libraries unobtrusive and validation not getting attached reliably, difficult to style, can't add just some helpful text to the form (labels without related form fields), awkward to access attachments that people upload with their comments, no documentation about how to use outside db source for storing form results, etc.)
I know I'm a relative new user to Umbraco, and have done pretty well grasping the Umbraco model in general, plus love the forum/our.umbraco support, but some of these basic documentation things are really lacking. Hunting through videos (a search function within Umbraco TV would also be nice) doesn't usually yield enough core documentation to understand fully.
Until tooltips are reliably functioning, and to avoid tooltip character limits as suggested above, I insert my forms into templates, then add this code at the bottom of the template to put title-attribute tooltips in place:
<script type="text/javascript"> $(".fieldname1 *").attr('title','Tooltip for field 1 (see fieldnames from <div> elements in View Source)'); $(".fieldname2 *").attr('title','Tooltip for field 2'); $(".fieldname3 *").attr('title','Tooltip for field 3'); </script>
Probably a clunky workaround but does get them working. Add whatever title-attribute-based jQuery hover-over tooltip plugins if you like for faster response.
Linefeed in ToolTip
I am working on a contour form, where i need to get linefeed into the ToolTip's
How do i do that?
I have tried: \n, <br />, and alt+13 alt+10 no luck
Is it possible to have a stylesheet specificly for each form ?

Hmm don't think that's possible (the linefeed)
Stylesheet is possible, by default Contour will append a stylesheet but if you disable that ... (can be done on the form settings)
Thanks again, i was afraid that would be the answer.
I'm not sure if this is a known bug, but I've found that if this field contains to many characters that it crashes Contour.
I will check Codeplex, and then recreate this issue. Lau

I have changed some text in a form but it doesn't show up. I think changing the tooltip is the answer but where do I do that?
is working on a reply...
