Hello all,

Here's my question: When using WebHelp, what are the best options for
providing context-sensitive help? As I understand it, the usual way of
doing c-s help (Map IDs) is not an option in WebHelp. I am familiar with
the following options for WebHelp c-s help:

* Use Tooltips (aka Screentips) to provide specific bits of information
for specific fields

* Take the name of the relevant application page; then open a specific
help page in a new window using that name (In other words, have a help
link on a page coded to bring up an appropriate help topic for that
page.)

Any other options you would recommend? Thanks in advance!

Keith
