Hi

Great wee script - thanks!

I operate a website with an event calendar where my clients need to be able to Add, Copy and Change events, each of which is one record.

In the Edit mode I would like to put 'hint' descriptions next to each field like:

"Enter "on" to show the event, "tbc" to show that it is provisional or leave blank to hide the event".

I imagine I could load these into an array or from a database - however I don't know where in the code to put it.

Any suggestions or even an indication of where to find the Edit Page generating section of the code would be a help.

Thanks in anticipation.

Phil Swallow

There is a 'help' key available and if you define it with your rules, it will appear on the edit page.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Michal - I've accomplished the job with the 'help' idea. I will look at values2 to see how that would be better.

Cheers

Phil
