Enabled Guidelines during "Edit Form" but need fix :-)

    First, I made the modifications to the form's css so the Guidelines
    are always displayed (no hover needed)

    #main_body form .guidelines
    {
    background:#f5f5f5;
    border:1px solid #e6e6e6;
    color:#444;
    font-size:80%;
    left:100%;
    line-height:130%;
    margin:0 0 0 8px !important;
    padding:8px 10px 9px;
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    visibility:visible;
    width:46%;
    clear: both;
    display: block !important;
    }

    And the "View Form" works great !!!

    Then, I made some modifications to the view-functions.php,
    to allow the Guidelines to be displayed in "Edit" mode, edit_entry.php,
    and made the same css changes, as shown above, to the edit_entry.css.

    But, I am having problems where the Guidelines, in "Edit" mode,
    are initially all displayed, but once you select a field,
    the Guideline for that field disappears,
    but returns when you go to another field, and so forth...

    I even copied the form's view.css to edit_entry.css, but that
    did not help...

    Thanks for any suggestions !

    Opps, post title wrong,
    not "Edit Form", but "Edit Entry"

    Oh, and I also made the modifications for:

    "Label & Input box on same line"

    And, again, it all works great in "View Form"

    CSS code seems to be influenced by the code in "index.css". Try to search these css code in "edit_entry.css" :

    #main_body form li.highlighted
{
	background-color:#fff7c0;

}

    then change it to 

    #main_body form li.highlighted
{
	background-color:#fff7c0;
	overflow:visible !important;

}

    that would make the guidelines always appear in "edit entry" page.
