RE: great help example for a web-based app

["Darren Barefoot" <darren -dot- barefoot -at- capeclear -dot- com>]

Hi,
For our new "management console", which is a Web app, we've taken a sort
of two-pronged approach. We've got a separate help system which users
can access for complete documentation. Additionally, we've got
field-level help that pops up in a small window using JavaScript.
Unfortunately, the whole thing's still in development, so I can't offer
a URL. Thanks. DB.
