TYPO3 Core

So how would you implement the CSH text then?

The design team decided to get rid of the help icons and show the CSH bubbles onmouseover of the labels.

Without these icons I don't see another solution to get the more detailed descriptions than the current onclick behaviour.

I agree that the markup should be changed from abbr to dfn though.

Maybe we could use double click as well?

Well using the double click is a good idea. Clicking the Label should do the focus thingie I mentioned earlier.

I could not find a way to turn it off or didn't i look properly? The hover icon should definitely not be a hand. I am no usabiity expert, but can't we find some inspiration from other projects?

I would suggest:

- mouse over the label => tooltip pops up after 2 secs
- click on the label => focus on input field or check the checkbox
- click in the tooltip => open the popup with more help

This is also how it used to work, when we had a specific link inside the tooltip (the old "arrow" demonstrating that more info was waiting to be clicked). This has to be visualized better, of course.

I added this information in the HCI tracker where the CSH styling will be made:

Fixed target version, always set target to final release, use "Fixed in Version" for specific preview releases...

As discussed in our release meeting, we will do the following:

• reduce delay to 0,5s - 1s (keep in mind that there is still more initial delay because of the ajax request for the text)
• "on click" on the label should not open the popup but instead select the item that is labeled (e.g. the checkbox = standard browser behaviour)
• add the old linking arrow back inside the label which is clickeable for the "more information" popup and allow the user to enter the tooltip to click on the link. Is this possible at all?

Steffen volunteered to do this. :)

I already did it,. here is the patch, it's now in skin factory for face lifting.

committed to trunk rev 9817
