You seem to be saying that *all* context-sensitive HTML help is only
compatible with C and C++ applications. That is not strictly speaking
true. Of course, you may be saying that *Robohelp's* context-sensitive
help is that way. That's too bad.
We use Oracle Help for the Web. It's Java-based and works quite well
with J2EE-based applications. Unfortunately, it's not very well
supported. We are using it because
* it's free
* since I'm the lone tech writer, the company asked me to recommend
something
* I used it before at Oracle
* I was a tech writer in the group that developed it, and I still have
colleagues there who
can help me

Hi Maria,
I have been looking up information regarding creation of
context-sensitive
HTML help for web applications for some time now. According to RoboHelp,
context-sensitive HTML help is compatible with applications developed in
C
and C++ only, therefore we won't be able to use Map IDs as we do for
desktop
applications using WinHelp.
