Form field's help without javascript

Y

Yohan N. Leder

Hello

What method/solution do you use to provide a form field help for
browsers without javascript enabled ?

I means something like the "?" beside the "Identifier" field which
launch a simple javascript alert in this example :

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<form action="http://..." method="post">
<h2>Form</h2>
Name : <input type="text" name="name" size="40" maxlength="256"><br>
Identifier : <input type="text" name="identifier" size="40"
maxlength="256"><a href="#" onclick="alert('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetuer adipiscing elit. Suspendisse semper lacinia mauris. Nam
vitae leo. Sed ac enim a justo interdum porttitor. Aliquam sed magna eu
dui ultrices rhoncus. Pellentesque massa est, aliquet nec, aliquet nec,
sollicitudin eu, magna. Curabitur porta odio vitae pede. Pellentesque
sed dui id ipsum tempor pellentesque. Duis tempor, nulla et tincidunt
placerat, nulla enim convallis magna, vitae ultrices ligula lorem in
ipsum. Pellentesque massa mi, hendrerit in, scelerisque eu, cursus vel,
ante. Praesent pellentesque tempus est. Praesent laoreet adipiscing
nisi. In consequat tempor turpis. Nam pulvinar. Morbi consectetuer odio
ut ligula. Ut nec mi in nunc hendrerit accumsan. Aliquam malesuada nibh
ut elit.'); return false;">?</a><br>

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

I don't mean anything like that. I answered the question about providing
help to users. If you want some popup trickery that confuses half of users
and aggravates the rest, just copy some random code from randomly selected
poor-design pages.
