Re: Calling WinHelp from a browser based app

["Wing, Michael J" <mjwing -at- INGR -dot- COM>]

In IE 4.0 or higher, the following works:

<a href="javascript:DoHelp('MyHelpFile.hlp',100,false)">Press me for help
</a>

<Script Language="VBS">

  'Subroutine to display help

  Sub DoHelp(File, Context, Pop)
    If Pop Then
      window.showhelp file, Context, "popup"
    Else
      window.showhelp file, Context
    End If
  End Sub
</Script>
