HelpText in Lightning is not rendered properly

Hi all,

I have built a vf-page, that should show helptext in classic, lightning experience and salesforce1 but does not rendered helptext in lightning experience properly.

Question:
Does anyone know why helptext is not rendered in lightning experience?

Related article:
  • https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/21412/help-text-not-appearing-when-using-apexoutputfield-with-a-custom-label

That's the way it look (currently):
Lightning experience:
User-added image
Classic:
User-added image
Salesforce1:
User-added image

Following code is used for vf-page: 
<apex:page applyBodyTag="false"
    applyHtmlTag="true"
    renderAs="html"
    docType="html-5.0"
    showHeader="true"
    sidebar="true"
    standardStylesheets="true"
    title="{!title}"
    controller="SepaTransactionController"
    tabStyle="SepaSearchTransaction__tab"
    lightningStylesheets="true" 
>

<apex:form >
        <apex:pageMessages id="pageMessage" escape="false"/>

        <apex:pageBlock title="{!title}" mode="detail" id="pageBlockSetionItemSearchCriteria">

            <apex:pageBlockSection title="{!$Label.Input}" columns="{!IF(OR($User.UIThemeDisplayed = 'Theme3', $User.UIThemeDisplayed = 'Theme4d'), 2, 1)}" id="pageBlockSearchCriteria">
                <apex:PageBlockSectionItem helpText="{!$Label.HelpGASATIds}">
                    <apex:outputLabel value="{!transactionPluralName} Ids" for="idsId"/>
                    <apex:inputText id="idsId" value="{!transactionIds}"/>
                </apex:PageBlockSectionItem>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Hello Sarvani,

thanks for your reponse!
I found and read this article before, but thought that it only describe the missing helptext for fieldsets.

Encouraged by your statement, I went on another search and came across the following example: http://www.codebycody.com/2014/08/super-simple-help-text.html
I only made small adjustments to it and the result now looks like this:
User-added image

That looks like the original helpText in lightning. I like it and it stays that way now. Thank you.

Hello Christian,

Seems your issue is a salesforce limitation for lightning experience. Please refer  https://community.zuora.com/t5/Zuora-CPQ/Help-Text-not-appearing-in-the-Lightning-instance-of-SalesForce/td-p/17501 (https://community.zuora.com/t5/Zuora-CPQ/Help-Text-not-appearing-in-the-Lightning-instance-of-SalesForce/td-p/17501" target="_blank)which addresses the same issue. However, you can insert an image like icon with a tooltip showing on hover via the alt/title attributes to acheive your need.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,
Sarvani

Greetings Christian,

Were you able to find a solution to this?  The link provided no longer works correctly.  Facing the same issue..   Can you please provide us with the information on how you made this work ( if you did )?   

Thank you!   Ben

Hi Ben

I am happy to be able to help you.

The adapted solution looks like the following:
  
<apex:variable var="showTwoColumns" value="{!IF(OR($User.UIThemeDisplayed = 'Theme3', $User.UIThemeDisplayed = 'Theme4d'), true, false)}"/><!-- salesforce1-app: only one column. -->
            <apex:variable var="lightningExperienceOnly" value="{!IF($User.UIThemeDisplayed = 'Theme4d', true, false)}"/>
            <apex:pageBlockSection title="{!$Label.Input}" columns="{!IF(showTwoColumns, 2, 1)}" id="pageBlockSearchCriteria">
                <apex:PageBlockSectionItem helpText="{!$Label.HelpGASACSearch}">
                    <apex:outputPanel >
                        <apex:outputLabel value="{!$Label.Searchcriteria}" for="searchcriteriaId"/>
                        <c:SepaHelpText text="{!$Label.HelpGASACSearch}" rendered="{!lightningExperienceOnly}"/>
                    </apex:outputPanel>
                    <apex:inputText id="searchcriteriaId" value="{!search}"/>
                </apex:PageBlockSectionItem>

And the vf-component looks like this:
  
<!-- http://www.codebycody.com/2014/08/super-simple-help-text.html -->
<apex:component selfClosing="false">
	<apex:attribute name="text" description="Help Text." type="String" required="true"/>

	<div class="mouseOverInfoOuter" id="searchInvoiceHelper" onfocus="addMouseOver(this)" onmouseover="addMouseOver(this)" tabindex="0">
	    <apex:image value="/s.gif" styleClass="helpOrb" style="vertical-align: top;"/>
	    <div class="mouseOverInfo" id="searchInvoiceHelperText" style="display: block; opacity: -0.19999999999999996; text-align: left;">
	        <div class="body">{!text}</div>
	    </div>
	</div>
</apex:component>

Hi Elen,

the solution looks like the following: 
<apex:PageBlockSectionItem helpText="{!$Label.HelpRowsPerPage}">
                    <apex:outputPanel >
                        <apex:outputLabel value="{!$Label.RowsPerPage}" for="searchPerPage"/>
                        <c:SepaHelpText text="{!$Label.HelpRowsPerPage}" rendered="{!lightningExperienceOnly}"/>
                    </apex:outputPanel>
                    <apex:selectList id="searchPerPage" multiselect="false" value="{!pagination.selectedPerPageValue}" size="1" style="width:130px">
                        <apex:selectOptions value="{!pagination.selectPerPageListItems}"/>
                    </apex:selectList>
                </apex:PageBlockSectionItem>
  
<!-- http://www.codebycody.com/2014/08/super-simple-help-text.html -->
<apex:component selfClosing="false">
	<apex:attribute name="text" description="Help Text." type="String" required="true"/>

	<div class="mouseOverInfoOuter" id="searchInvoiceHelper" onfocus="addMouseOver(this)" onmouseover="addMouseOver(this)" tabindex="0">
	    <apex:image value="/s.gif" styleClass="helpOrb" style="vertical-align: top;"/>
	    <div class="mouseOverInfo" id="searchInvoiceHelperText" style="display: block; opacity: -0.19999999999999996; text-align: left;">
	        <div class="body">{!text}</div>
	    </div>
	</div>
</apex:component>

Thanks for sharing this. Need to know this. You can also check Acoustic Gig Bag (https://demoduct.com/best-acoustic-guitar-gig-bag/)

That is a big problem in everybody’s mind. Since more importantly business hours vary from place to place, your best chance is to use McDonald’s location finder.
However, most of the, more importantly, locations stop at around the same time serving breakfast each day, so the information below will be sufficient in most cases.
