how to give hint in new line smartgwt ds.xml

[chris1]

I would like to insert a new line for hint in field attribute within the ds.xml file. How do I do it ?

Below are my codes
<field name="image" type="binary" Validator="fileExtension" fileExtension="jpg,jpeg,gif" hint="*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif or *.png" width="100" ></field>

Try <br/>, but the < as &lt; and the > as &gt;

Or <br/> and all the content of hint inside CDATA.

Try <br/>, but the < as &lt; and the > as &gt;

<field name="image" type="binary" Validator="fileExtension" fileExtension="jpg,jpeg,gif" width="100"> &lt br &gt hint="*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif or *.png" > </field>

U mean like this ?

Hi chris1,

no. You want a linebreak in the content of hint, correct?

<field ... fileExtension="jpg,jpeg,gif" hint="*.jpg, *.jpeg,&lt;br/&gt;*.gif or *.png" width="100"></field>

or

<field ... fileExtension="jpg,jpeg,gif" hint="<![CDATA[*.jpg, *.jpeg,<br/>*.gif or *.png]]>" width="100"></field>

Hi Blama , both code does not seem to work from my side. Is there any other possible ways to do it ?

Hi chris1,

you could give the hint in Java as well.
But why or what does not work? The hint at all or the line break? Check the result of the DataSourceLoader Call for that DataSource and also change some text so that you know if the system got your change. Do you see the <br/> in there? What do you see displayed in the browser?

Hi Blama , because I would like to bring the entire hint down to the next line, so I put the "&lt;br/&gt;" in front of the *.jpg, which looks like

hint="<br/>*.jpg, *.jpeg,*.gif or *.png"

. However, the entire hint line was not brought down to the next line. However, when I inspect the webpage, the <br> line is there

Hi chris1,

OK, the problem is then something else. Try a space before you break or just an "a" to see if it works in general.
