You can add a help button, icon or hyperlink to your Web application that opens your help system. The instructions below assume that you're adding a help button to the main screen of your Web application.
Follow the steps below to add a help button to your Web application.
1. Open the main page of your web application using an HTML editor such as Visual Studio or a text editor such as Windows Notepad. This is an example of a simple webpage.
<html><body>
<br><br>Hello World </body></html>
2. Add the following code to create a 'Help' link that will open your help system when clicked. This link could also be a button or an image.
Open a Dynamic Help System
<html><body> <a href="http://www.domain.com/help" target=_blank>Help</a>
<br><br>Hello World </body></html>
Open a Static Help System
<html><body> <a href="help/default.htm" target=_blank>Help</a>
<br><br>Hello World </body></html>
* the url above assumes that the static help system is in a sub folder named 'help'
3. Open the html file in your browser. Click the 'Help' link to display the help system in a new window.
