I'm sure I'm missing something really basic, but after installing this module, I can't find where to turn it on. I've looked in Site Building and the configuration screens for my different content types but no luck. What have I overlooked? Thank you!

There is nothing else to do.

Edit a piece of content and "hover" your cursor over one of the fields descriptions. The text from the description should show up in a tooltip over lay. See image attached for example.

If my response above is satisfactory, please mark this issue as fixed.

Thanks. Something must be conflicting somewhere then because I have the module enabled but nothing happens when I hover my cursor over a description field.

I'm using the Pixture-Reloaded theme which uses the color module. I know I have to revert it to the default color scheme before I can edit any CSS so I tried that but still no luck with getting Form Tooltips to work. Thanks so much for your help.

Ok, it looks like Form Tooltips is working for "system generated" help text, but not help text I've added. Please see attached screenshot.

Yes you are right. It looks like the css selectors are not robust enough (they were made specific to avoid grabbing the wrong help text on more complicated cck items). I will look into this and hopefully roll it out tomorrow in dev.

Also just to clarify verymisunderstood is right, there is no configuration, enabling the module is all you do. However my goal is by 1.3 release to have a configuration page that allows for more granular control over what gets tool-tipped.

Ok I rolled a whole bunch of changes into dev and made a 1.1 release (which should be packaged by the end of the night). It should now grab anything that has class "description" and which is located in a form created by Drupals Form API.

Your screenshots made me realize that it was not properly hiding the help texts when they are nested in fieldsets, because fieldsets have there own js which undoes the .hide() command provided by Form Tooltips. This is also now fixed.

Thanks, let me know if you have any other bugs/ideas/requests.
