I have a form with 3 types of submit buttons and I would like to give the user a pop up, help text, etc. when they put their pointer over the button. I want to write a couple of sentences or more than would fit cleanly if on 3 labels over the buttons. Another option would be to have one label/calc value over the 3 buttons that changes depending on which button the user hovers over.

thanks for any assistance!

I have found a way to do it!

Give the button a CSS class (cSaveButton) and then set the title attribute using JQuery in the custom JavaScript settings of the form.

NWF$(document).ready(function(){

 NWF$('.cSaveButton').attr('title', 'my tool tip');
});

Excellent information. Worked great for an image button I created in providing help text on my O365 Nintex form. I had tried a similar solution but had " " instead of ' ' in the JavaScript, which was the cause in why it wasn't working.
