Alternative Help

An alternative method of displaying Help to that described in the Extensions - Help section, has been used in the Seller Info area. In this case:

  • The icon at images/misc/question_mark.gif is used to launch the Help.
  • A JavaScript function is attached to the onClick event.
  • The function win() is called to open show_help.php, with a sample syntax being “win(’show_help.php?a=102826&l=22′). L=22 means Australian English language.
  • The win() function simply opens a new window, displays the text from the referenced database field, and adds a close button for the window.
