VF helptext not working
I have a visualforce form that i use for a custom object. The help text works with all fields except these:
<apex:pageBlockSection title="Precall Planning Questions" columns="1">
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question1__c}" label="What is my long range sales target for this account?"/></p>
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question2__c}" label="What is my specific objective for this call?"/></p>
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question3__c}" label="What do I plan to show? (Product, demo, sample, chart, etc.)"/></p>
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question4__c}" label="Who or What is your competition and what are their disadvantages? What is their primary advantage?"/></p>
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question5__c}" label="What benefit or solution can you provide to this customer?"/></p>
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question6__c}" label="What is the monetized value of your solution?"/></p>
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question7__c}" label="What is your 'TARGETED BENEFIT STATEMENT'?"/></p>
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question8__c}" label="What needs analysis questions do you intend to ask?"/></p>
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question9__c}" label="What is your sellers leverage?"/></p>
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question10__c}" label="What objections do you anticipate?"/></p>
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question11__c}" label="How do you plan to overcome these objections?"/></p>
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question12__c}" label="What closing techniques/statements will you use?"/></p>
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question13__c}" label="What potential value can you bring to this customer?"/></p>
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question14__c}" label="Who else is on this call and what is their role?"/></p>
<p><apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question15__c}" label="In 30 words or less, define the account strategy; include necessary resources to support."/></p>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
I'm not sure why it doesnt work for these fields only. Can someone help me? Thanks

<apex:pageBlockSectionItem helpText="{!$ObjectType.Precall_Plan_2__c.fields.Question1__c.InlineHelpText}">
<apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question1__c}" label="What is my long range sales target for this account?"/>
</apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
Unfortunately it removes my label and there's is still no help text. Why does it remove the label?
I looked through the thread you posted and I've gotten this far:
<apex:pageBlockSectionItem helpText="{!$ObjectType.Precall_Plan_2__c.Fields.Question1__c.inlineHelpText}">
{!$ObjectType.Precall_Plan_2__c.Fields.Question1__c.inlineHelpText}
<apex:inputField value="{!Precall_Plan_2__c.Question1__c}" label="What is my long range sales target for this account?"/>
</apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
It now has the hover over help text icon but it also replaced the inputfield label with the helptext. The label still will not show. Any suggestions?
