>In HTML you can define the picture as a map, and have various regions behave as hotspots (just the way the HotSpot editor in WinHelp was used), only the syntax is different this time, but you actually do get a picture with clickable regions. What is not possible in HH help viewer, is to have a little frame appear somewhere (on the picture within a HTML page, or in your form, just the same) - whatever you click in HH, it takes the whole HH window. Just look at any subject in VFP6 help - a simple "applies to" list has to take the whole window. Smells like a very, very unfinished product. We've lost nice features. Never mind, M$ says it's what future will be like.

Actually, that's just how they chose to implement it. You can use DHTML to do
some pretty cool stuff. I'm currently working on a help generation tool for
my class references etc. and I've found you can do some nifty stuff with
DHTML popping down additional data etc. especially if you're buidling
data driven routines to generate the HTML.

I'm actually looking for some input on this stuff. I've been long tired with
the changing help file formats and the tools that you use to create them.
The problem is that these tools don't work all that well for creating
developer help and formatting it properly. If you're interested stop by
