Check the reference on GUI.TextField. None of the parameters are of type GUIContent, yet you try to supply one.

Error happens here:
stringToEdit = GUI.TextField(..., ..., GUIContent("start1"));

I guess you need to set the tooltip manually if the mouse is over the rect.

robert, as I wrote, the TextField doesn't provide any means to set the tooltip since it doesn't accept any GUIContent. Normally you'd set the tooltip via the GUIContent. See the link I posted for yourself. It's a flaw in Unity or something.

Maybe you can cheat around it by having an empty label underneat it?

var stringToEdit : String = "";

function OnGUI() 
{
    stringToEdit = GUI.TextField(Rect(10, 10, 200, 20), stringToEdit, 25);
    GUI.Label(Rect(10, 10, 300, 50), GUIContent(" ", "label1"));

    if (GUI.tooltip == "label1")
    {
       GUI.Label(Rect(210, 30, 300, 40), "enter in text field");
    }
}
