Hi,

 

Hey there is one attribute in VF  which you be used in your case.

 

<apex:inputText title="Your help text" />

 

Title is one attribute in salesforce standard which gives a tool tip. So it can be used when you just over a mouse on the input text or input fields.

 

Thanks,

You can use onMouseOver and display the message box with the content.

Hello,

 

Please use the following sample code as a reference. You can simply use the helptext property of <apex:pageblockSectionItem> to display custom helptext on vf page.

 

<apex:page standardController="Account">
  <apex:form>
      <apex:pageBlock>
          <apex:pageBlockSection>
              <apex:pageBlockSectionItem helpText="Please enter account name">
                  <apex:outputLabel value="Name"></apex:outputLabel>
                  <apex:inputField value="{!Account.Name}"/>
              </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
          </apex:pageBlockSection>
      </apex:pageBlock>
  </apex:form>
</apex:page>

 

Please let me know if there is any issue.

You can use any custom image denoting info (like the one we see on standard salesforce page, the question mark)  using apex:image tag. For the tag there is a parameter 'title' which displayes text in form of a tooltip. 

 

This one will be similar to Help Text for any field in standard salesforce UI.
