Default onhelp

Hello,

The onhelp property can be used in certain tags, which references a help file. Does anybody know what the onhelp property expects (says handler), and how to create a handler to a .chm file? Also, does the handler work in the body tag?

Thanks,

Brian Mains

It can be applied to any rendered element plus document and window objects. Except for IE for Mac which limits the event to the Window object. So it would certainly work on the <body> tag.

Doesn't seem very useful IMO, as the user has to press F1 to fire the event, if the object in focus contains the event handler then it will fire, otherwise nothing happens.

As far as the rest of your question I don't know.

hth,
Rich
