hidden help for individual words

[Jo West]

Is there a way in Frontpage to have hidden help
(descriptions) for individual words so that when the user
clicks on the word (or phrase), text is displayed below
the word? click again and the text disappears? I have
seen this in some help systems and want to use this
feature for field definitions in a help system.
Any "help" would be appreciated!

Probably the easiest way to do this is by using a bulleted list that collapses?

1. New page
2. Format > Bullets and Numbering
3. Check the two boxes to Enable collapsible and Initially collapsed, and choose a Bullet style (hint: if you use images and then make some transparent images, this might look better for you).. OK 4. type "word" on the page and hit Enter 5. click on the Increase Indent button in the Toolbar twice 6. type 'definition'
7. hit enter and then Decrease Indent twice 9. type another word, enter 10. increase indent twice, definition 11. decrease indent twice, new word...

Save the page and take a look in the browser and then click to expand and collapse the list. You may also want to add a style="cursor:hand" to the UL in code view.

Thanks!
