Oracle APEX 20.1 - Customize Field Help / Tooltips - tooltip

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

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.
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.

data-placeholder and jQueryUI autocomplete

Is there a simple way to have a default text in the textbox using jQueryUI's autocomplete ?
I have tried using data-placeholder but it doesn't seem to work.
I have searched online, and people suggest using the textbox value to display the text, and clear it on focus. But then I would need to change the font style just for the default text, and check onKeyUp when the text is manually erased etc...
Is there no easier way to do this ? or am I missing something ?
A lot of people will use a span that is positioned to be over the text box. When the text box gets focus then you hide the span. When the text box blurs and has a value, you don't show it. If it doesn't have a value then you can show it again.
You can style the span however you want independently of the text box so you would not have to change the font style on the text box itself. You would have to subscribe to the focus and blur events, but it would be much easier if you created a jQuery plugin to do this. In fact, I'm sure there are ones that already exist that do this.

Dynamically change certain text in textarea with drop-down selection

I have a text area that has names within the default value. For example the textarea reads..
(dynamic registrant name) just registered to become
a donor in (dynamic from pull-down above)
honor. This text is editable
So in the same form I have an input that asks the user for their name and a select box where they can choose among a selections of names. I am trying to change the names within the text area based on the values they enter in the input and drop-down fields above the text area. Can someone help with this? I am completely stuck. I have read through some of the forums here and it looks like a lot of the solutions are to use ajax. I have zero experience in ajax and would like to find a solution that does not use that...is it possible? Or could someone help with a solution?
I don't think textarea is what you want exactly. What if the user takes off the (dynamic from pull-down above) part? How would you know where to put the text at? Even if you somehow could, I suggest you make regular text input elements for contents that the user can change and put the other dynamically changing text as uneditable html text elements (or however you want to format them).

Remove highlighting box from edit field

I am using edit field to enter some text. When I click on edit field, one Highlighting box is showing as in image. I want to hide that box. Please catch the problem using below image:
How to remove this focused box in edit field??
As it's Edit Field, its default nature is to highlight text for editing. If you are going to enter values in the field during application runtime means you have to bare this. If you are going to enter values programatically means use Rich Text Field or your
editfield.setEditable(false);

Delphi 7 - cxDBGrid Column : How to display a check mark next to some character string

I have to display in a cxdbGrid column 'Test √', and I got the check mark by using a symbol font but the rest of the characters changed.
I don't have an answer if you do actually need to have the check as part of actual text in the text column. I don't think I've ever seen an app that did it that way though. The usual way of doing this is to add a column to the left or right of the text column in question and have the new column use a checkbox control. Then just set the value of the checkbox column to true or false.
It's quite common to include some type of image to represent the state of a column in a grid control. You could implement your own OnCustomDrawCellEvent to put an icon image there, instead of text and a font. Below is a link to a tutorial of how to accomplish this.
