    gentlemen

    i would like to provide the users with hints to help organize their answering questions

    so i placed a hint icon and made a url link to this

    would a light box be a better way ?? so that it pops up in the form itself....

    the code below is a bit much for me

    thanks

    To use a button, just simply use the lightbox class from your lightbox embed code on your buttons code. Example:

     

     <script src="//max.jotfor.ms/min/g=feedback2" type="text/javascript">

     

    new JotformFeedback({

     

    formId:'30452332860952',

     

    base:'http://jotformpro.com/',

     

    windowTitle:'Title Me',

     

    background:'#FFA500',

     

    fontColor:'#FFFFFF',

     

    type:false,

     

    height:500,

     

    width:700

     

    });

     

    </script>

     

    <input class="lightbox-30452332860952" type="button" value="Click Here" />

     

    Hope this helps you, Let us know if you need further assistance.

    If you would like to add some hint text, you might consider trying a Hover Text option of the form field.

    It will display when the mouse hovers over the field.

    If you are referring to something else, please provide us with a bit more information on your inquiry.

    It is designed for text, but since you can add HTML tags it might be possible to inject the images.

    Example:
