Or better:
def balloon(comment)
return DIV('[read more]',SPAN(comment),_class='balloon')
Field(....,comment=balloon(T('Explanation for what to enter into title
that goes on and on and on')))
Then in CSS have something like:
div.balloon{
position:relative; /*this is the key*/
z-index:24; background-color:#ccc;
color:#000;
text-decoration:none}
div.balloon:hover{z-index:25; background-color:#ff0}
div.balloon span{display: none}
div.balloon:hover span{ /*the span will display just on :hover state*/
display:block;
position:absolute;
top:2em; left:2em; width:15em;
border:1px solid #0cf;
background-color:#cff; color:#000;
text-align: center}
