Hi Dave,
I did understand that your hint was - a hint to the user - but I
assumed that you would find out how to include that together with the
form field definition :)
Using the form helper, I would just add the "after" option to include
something after the entry field. Using your hint code, I get the
following HTML code.
[code]
<div class="input text"><label for="ReporterEmail">E-mail</
label><input name="data[Reporter][email]" type="text" class="email"
maxlength="128" value="" id="ReporterEmail" /><p
class="form_hint"><span class="bold red">Required:</span>Password must
be minimum of 8 characters.</p></div>
[/code]
As you can see, your hint is placed after the input tag. This is all
done, just by using the form helper.
My form helper code for the above is then:
[code]
print( $form->input( 'Reporter.email', array('label' => __
('visitors_email',true), 'class' => 'email', 'error' => array
('report_email_rule' => __('report_email_rule',true) ), 'after' => '<p
class="form_hint"><span class="bold red">Required:</span>Password must
be minimum of 8 characters.</p>' ) ) );
[/code]
If you don't want the error message to show up, just define it as " "
- a blank ;)
Well, if you can use it, good, else good that your solution is working
also!
Enjoy,
John
