I am adding tool tips to many fields in my form and it seems like the tips will not display for radio buttons and check boxes unless they are dynamic. (or so it seems)
In the attached, on partial page APD_APPSect1, I have a muticheck "Federal/Indian APD" and two yes/no radio buttons which would not display their tooltips. I added controller rules to paste an XML fragment into the input document and changed them to dynamic fields and the tips show up. Is there a way to make this work for static fields?
In addition I tried to use help tip as a work around for this and I find that these help buttons seem unreliable. There is a help icon next to the multi-check mentioned above but no text is displayed. An identical help tip on another form works as expected. is there anything I could have done in the form to interfere with these items?

RE: Help with Help text
There are two problems here:
1) Accessibility Options - Field Tip- There is a problem that the Field Tip is not added for "Static" Radio or Multi-checkboxes.
The only current workaround would be to right some script to add the "title" attribute to the Radio/Multi-check INPUT "Static" fields.
2) Hint and Error Options - Show Hint Message - It looks like the hint has been manually edited via the HTML editor as there are some DIVs and class names that we don't recognize?
There is a problem that the Hint HTML content cannot have line breaks present, otherwise a script error will occur. The HTML editor is doing some processing to perform a line break for DIVs.
To workaround the problem you could edit the HTML and change the second DIV to a SPAN? It is probably safer to use SPANs for both. Either way, make sure there are no line breaks. The easiest way to check is to switch off the "word wrap" and make sure all the text is on one line before pressing "update".
RE: Help with Help text
Regarding the accessibility options, is that a bug or is there some reason for the tips not working on static radio and check fields?
RE: Help with Help text
OK, I understand the first point.
The Accessibility option for statics is a bug and has been fixed for the next version.
