If you're designing your own HTML (eg: this is not in the admin) then
there's nothing stopping you rendering the help text any way you want. Eg:
{{ form.field1 }}<img src="questionmark.gif" onclick="showpopuphelp('{{
form.field1.help_text }}');return false;" />
(that might not exactly work as written, but using it to give you the gist
of things... my preference would be to put the text into a <span
class="fieldhelp> and use jQuery magic to wrap it up)
If you were doing this a lot, and would prefer to stick with using {{
form.as_table }} (for example) and rely on the default HTML generators for
each field, then you'll need to create your own widgets, probably
inheriting from the standard widgets, and override the html generators.
If you wanted to change how the fields were being displayed in the ADMIN,
then that will require overriding the field widgets in the ModelAdmin's
with your own widgets created the same way above.
