Oracle APEX 20.1 - Customize Field Help / Tooltips

I see Help Text and Inline Help Text properties for columns in APEX 20.1, but I don't see any options for customizing how the field help is displayed. Does that ability exist?

For example, the Inline Help Text displays below the field. Is there a way to specify that:

  • It should display to the right of the field?
  • It should display as a tool tip, when the cursor enters the field?

Thank you

Solution

    1. If the requirement is to specify some text to the right of the field then use Post Text property instead of Inline Help Text property.

    2. To show a tooltip paste the below code in the Function and Global Variables section

      $('#MY_PAGE_ITEM').attr('title', 'My Tooltip Text');

    Note:

    • Replace MY_PAGE_ITEM with your Page Item name.

    • Replace My Tooltip Text with the required text.
