function displayHelp()

Up: Common Dialog Support

Source: /jscripts/util.js

This function displays the help division associated with a particular element in the web page. The help division is identified in one of the following ways:

• this.helpDivName may be set to explicitly specify the value of the id= attribute of the division to display.
• if this.name is set then the division to display has the id= attribute "Help" + this.name.
• if this.id is set then the division to display has the id= attribute "Help" + this.id.
• if this has an attribute for=, then it is a <label> tag and the division to display has the id= attribute "Help" + this.getAttribute("for").

If this has an attribute maxlength= then a sentence is added to the help division documenting this limit.

If this had a style with textTransform: capitalize then a sentence is added to the help division documenting this characteristic.

If this.abbrTbl is defined then it contains a table of abbreviations which are automatically expanded when they are entered into the element, so a table documenting those abbreviations and their expansions is added to the help division.

The division is positioned just below or just above element for which help is to be displayed and it is made visible.

Parameters:

name	contents
this	an input element represented by an instance of HTMLElement
