Context-Sensitive Form Help

Hi All,

I created a free tool that allows you to create flash-based-context-sensitive help for your html forms. As the user tabs through the fields on the form, it displays help text and sound or video. I hope this isn't considered spam. I put in many hours developing this tool and would like to see someone get some use out of it.

Here's a screen shot of the tool:

The tool also allows you to add flash animations and flv videos to your web site:

Here's the link to the installer:

Hi Hastely,

The help has a good tutorial on how to create the context-sensitive help. Also, there is one other bug that I forgot to mention in the readme. When you browse to a file, sometimes the choose file window freezes up. Alt+tab to another window and then back and that will un-freeze it.

Thanks for taking a look at it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey Steve, are you familiar with MySQL connections in Dreamweaver? I am going to take a look at your program, but first I need to setup a form to put it to work with.
Hey Hastely,

I have never done a mySQL connection in DW. The last HTML to mySQL connection I did was through c# .Net and it was my business partner who created the connection file.

I found this though. It seems like a pretty good cookbook guide to doing it:

Good luck,
