[SalesForce] Help Text not showing on

I have a table inside of a pageblocksection and then inside of that I have an that I am trying to utilize the default help text for but it's not showing up.

<apex:pageBlockSection columns="1">
  <apex:outputPanel>
    <table> width="100%">
      <tr>
        <td>
          <apex:pageBlockSectionItem helpText="test text">
            <apex:inputCheckbox value="{!searchBySKU}" />
            <apex:outputLabel value="Search for this SKU or text in the SKU name" />
          </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </apex:outputPanel>
</apex:pageBlockSection>

Any ideas why this doesn't work as I expect?

EDIT:

So, I just did some more testing and it creates the text if it's a direct child of the pageBlockSection. Is there any way to get around this restriction without going the fully custom route to do so?

Best Answer

Try removing the outputPanel to make it direct child of pageblockSection

<apex:pageBlockSection columns="1">
<table> width="100%">
  <tr>
    <td>
      <apex:pageBlockSectionItem helpText="test text">
        <apex:inputCheckbox value="{!searchBySKU}" />
        <apex:outputLabel value="Search for this SKU or text in the SKU name" />
      </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
