Body: (use this wiki markup)
Every field in web2py has a unique name and id. Look at the generated html to figure out the ID for your fields. Say you want to add a balloon to a field with id="mytable_myfield". Download the jquery plugin <http://plugins.learningjquery.com/cluetip> Include the .js files in the view that needs it <script src="{{=URL(r=request,c='static',f='jquery.dimensions.js')}}" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="{{=URL(r=request,c='static',f='jquery.cluetip.js')}}" type="text/javascript"></script> Add somewhere the following code: <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $('#mytable_myfield').attr('title','Ballon Header Text|Balloon Body Text').cluetip({splitTitle: '|'}); // add one entry for every field that needs a balloon }); </script> The js files have to be put in yourapp/static/ Also make sure you run a current version of web2py that includes the basic jquery.js
