Is it possible in any way to rearrange the help text feature on the individual CCK field so that it in certain cases is shown above and not below the input field? This would be of great help in case of long selection boxes.

Regards,

Svend

Cleaning out old issues to prepare for a D6 release, sorry this didn't get handled earlier.

The help text uses the Drupal standard -- below the input field. You can change it the same way you change anything else in Drupal, but overriding the theme for the form.

Just wanted to add to this discussion that the theme function one would use to override this is the theme_form_element function in D5. I wish KarenS had mentioned that in her response.

The API Doc for this function is found at http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme_form_element/5

Hope that saves someone else a couple hours of searching.

What function do you have to override in D7? Thanks!

You can use a #markup element to put some text wherever you want. (Thought that's a little advanced.)
