Greetings smart people,
I'm trying to generate a form where one of the input areas ends up in a
tooltip (the notes and sources area). I've got a working model, but I don't
like the way it's implemented. It seems like there should be a more elegant
way to do it, but I haven't found a working solution after a few hours of
fiddling. The screenshot shows the form with my ugly way where I use the
default text parameter to include the spans for the tooltip and the actual
input is between them. What I want is to have a macro that adds these spans
and I don't have to have them visible. The code I'm currently using to
generate this is below the screenshot. I've defined a macro that I think
will work at the top, but I haven't been able figure out a way to invoke it
and have it work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
