Hide tip (hide_tip)

Description

Most questions will usually include a tip that says "Please choose one of the following options" or a hint text on how to fill out the question. This attribute allows you to turn off this tips/hints.

These tips include the validation criteria messages (such as min/max number of answers, min/max/equals sum value). If hide_tip is enabled, these messages will be hidden. However, if the user enters invalid data, the tips will appear. They will be coloured in red, getting changed to green Once the validation criteria are met.

The method used to hide tip is css only, but you can choose another way to hide it. An example to show tips/hints is if user submits with error:

.hide-tip .good {display: none;}
.hide-tip .error {display: none;}
.input-error .hide-tip .error {display: block;}

Available options

  • On - the tips and hints are hidden;
  • Off (default).
