Tooltips in Woody

[Sylvain Wallez <sy...@apache.org>]

Hi all,

I just added tooltip support in Woody (needed that quickly for my 
project). For this, you just need to add a <wd:hint> in the widget 
definition.

Example (from the updated "Various" sample):
  <wd:booleanfield id="somebool">
    <wd:label>Put me <em>on</em> or <em>off</em>.</wd:label>
    <wd:hint>Yes, you can click!</wd:hint>
  </wd:booleanfield>

The styling stylesheets put this hint into a "title" attribute on the 
various inputs. However, I encountered some difficulties with IE: this 
attribute is not displayed on dropdown menus and lists (i.e. the 
<select> element) whereas Mozilla displays it cleanly. Any hint on this?

I also made provision for a <wd:help> element meant to produce a more 
detailed help using a popup window. But the corresponding styling is not 
yet implemented.

Enjoy,
Sylvain
