Description

Contextual help tooltip often gets in the way of the field it is supposed to provide help for.

Since the field is usually either on the right side of or below the label, I propose to position the tooltip above the label (when viewport space allows) so that it does not display over the field.

Hy,

thanks for your suggestion. :)
I thought somehow the same, too.

Can you provide Screens (before/after) please?!

Look well done to me.

But could you place the Box a
bit closer to the trigger target?

Shouldn't be more than 3 px.
(Currently it looks like 15 px or so.)

I could not find how to reduce the space between the tool tip and the label.

I think it's also important that the little triangle from the helpbox points exactly to it's origin. I.e. the small questionmark-icons... if you hover over them the triangle point next to it instead of directly on it...

Both issues are now fixed in trunk revision 10156.

See http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=17163:

1. pushes the anchor slightly to the left in order to align it with the help icon of doc headers
2. positions the tip box closer to the target element when the anchor is on the bottom side of the box.
