Hover text over Text

    How could I create Hover text over text? Eg, I want to have maybe a "?" right next to or under a radio button and then when the user hovers over this there will be text explaining that button. I wanted to do this with a radio button where the text will appear underneath or to the side, but I was told the radio button would have to be the size of the text which I don't want. Thanks

    We do not have a tool that can achieve the Hover Text over Text. The only option available is this:

    Hover text that shows a description of the field:

    If I find the right CSS code, would I be able to insert this to make this happen? 


    Can I also add HTML code to my form to insert completely new elements and features?


    Thanks!

    You can insert custom CSS into the form by following this guide:

    How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes

    However, you cannot add any custom HTML elements into the form. If you have an external site, which would house all your custom HTML elements, then you can embed the external site into your form by using iFrame Embed widget.

    Related Guides:

    iFrame Embed Widget

    How-to-Add-a-Widget-to-Your-Form

    On the other hand, if you would want to completely customize your form aside from CSS, you can download the form's Full Source Code and embed it into your site.

    Hi Vanessa thanks....So I'm using the website builder Wix. So given the information above, if I can create an element in my website builder - I would be able to embed that element into my form? Or does this not constitute "an external site..that would host my HTML elements"?


    Looks like the second method would be to just get my form as close to what I want on Jot form, and then add additional elements after downloading the full source code. If I do this, is there still a way to preview these forms? Will JotForm still be able to send me the information gathered from new HTML elements that I create? I hope my question is clear, let me know if you need any clarification.


    Thanks

    If you have a link to load the element, then yes, you can embed it in the form using the iFrame widget, if you check the widget you will notice that it requires an URL, so without having an URL elements cannot be loaded.

    You can get the form's source code and edit it on your end, this guide will help you doing so: https://www.jotform.com/help/104-How-to-get-the-Full-Source-Code-of-your-Form 

    However, note that you will collect the information from the fields you have added through the form builder only, if you add elements through the source code then the data collected  through these elements will not be sent to your JotForm account.

    Thanks.
