callouts on Set Metadata

our client would like to add on-line help for each field that we're capturing metadata for (either a help hyperlink or a button that would open just a static text/html window with help text). We've tried both cgi and java callouts and we can't get a button to appear on the form. when we substitue the callout to use the exmaple it works, but this uses the <substitution> element and requires an <item>.

has anyone any suggestions how to implement this kind of on-line help?

thanks in advance

Trying using the hidden tag so that item wont show up in the form.

if the customer is willing to give up the HTML formatting on the help text, there is a simple way to do it. MetaTagger datacapture form displays a hyperlink for <description> field next to item label. When you click on it, it will display a dialog box with whatever text description field has in datacapture.cfg
