Hi,
CommonDialog is an object, an ActiveX Control (usally in VB) that provides methods like ShowOpen(), ShowSave(), ShowColor(),
ShowPrint(), ShowFonts(), ShowHelp(). Each of these open a common dialog window that can be use either to open files, either to
save, either to select colors or fonts, either to display help documents.
You can use this object even in a HTML page, but only if you have this control registered on your system. This control is located
on a disk file in your system directory. The file name is MSCOMDLG32.OCX.
The showHelp() method of the window object in DHTML displays compiled html help files (*.chm files). This method is different than
ShowHelp() method of the CommonDialog object that displays old system help files (*.hlp).
In JavaScript you can simply display a help system using the method showHelp();
Ex: showHelp("myHelp.chm");
Good Luck!
