Tooltip help for APEX list entries

Category APEX Tips and Tricks

Here is how add tooltip help to list entries. You need modify or create new list template and add title attribute. In this example I modify APEX build in theme 1 Horizontal Images with Label List template.

Add to first div in List Template Current and List Template Noncurrent title attribute like in below picture.

Edit your list and change it to use new template.

Edit your list entries and fill to first User Defined Attributes help text you like have for list entry.

Now when you run page and hower mouse over list entry, you can see tooltip help.

See working example.

    Hi Jari, I tried again, but still cannot do it. I will be listing out the steps, please tell me where I am going wrong. 
    1. Created a new List Template
  
   Code for List Template Current
 
  <div class="list-item-current" title="#A01">
  <div class="list-item-image"><img src="IMAGE_PREFIX##IMAGE#" #IMAGE_ATTR# alt="" / ></div>
  <div class="list-item-lable"><a href="#LINK#" class="current">#TEXT#</a></div>
</div>

  Code for List Template Noncurrent

 <div class="list-item" title="#A01#">
  <div class="list-item-image"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX##IMAGE#" #IMAGE_ATTR# alt="" / ></div>
  <div class="list-item-lable">a href="#LINK#" class="current">#TEXT#</a></div>
</div
    2. Edit in List   List Template Override: new template 3. Edit list entries   User Defined Attributes : To desired text Can you please guide me where I am going wrong. - Animesh

    Hi Animesh,

    You have mistakes in list template. Check HTML what you have entered to list template. Also check that you have entered substitution strings correctly.
