It is set by default that when I create input fields and set them to be required, when users don't fill in anything, they got a massage:

Please fill out this field

I am creating a website with Joomla, and this tooltip pops out in every browser displaying the above text. How to change the text.

I tried to look up in Joomla language ini files, but no success. Is there some easy way to change this, or some advice where it could be?

This is not a Joomla string, it's the message displayed by the HTML5 required attribute. To change the message you have to check the loads of suggestions in the following questions:

if you are writing your own component (or module/plugin), it sounds like this is the description - field in the form-xml for your component. If the form is auto-generated from a component-creator, the file should be found in /(administrator/)components/com_yourcomponent/models/forms

but some more info on where/what you are doing would help.

  • I am creating a form in my articles. Simple form with required fields. So, I am using article manager. And in the article I put something like ``. Therefore, on client side, when users doesn't fill in anything it gives them a notice which I want to adjust. – mpavlovic89 Mar 27 '14 at 12:16
