Customize widget help text

Each calculator field can show popup help text on focus. You can override the text per field with an inline helptext object in the widget’s data-defaults.

Custom help text

Key the helptext object by field name:

<script async src="https://calculators.symmetry.com/widget/js/salary.js?key=yourKey"
    data-defaults='{"helptext":{"grossPay":"Enter your gross pay for this period."}}'></script>

Help text is set inline only. Unlike field values and styling, it isn’t read from a hosted URL.

Disable all help text

Turn off every help-text popup by setting helptext to false:

<script async src="https://calculators.symmetry.com/widget/js/salary.js?key=yourKey"
    data-defaults='{"helptext":false}'></script>

Field names

Help text can be set for any form field. For the list of field names, see Object model and default properties.
