Hello,
The company has requested to create an online help per each _list.asp in order to allow the user to see how that scrren has been generated. Including a general description of the criteria how the view or the report has been created.
We have created many diferent complex _list.asp and the title is not ehough so I would like to add a help per each _list.asp
how could this be done in ASPRunner 5.0?
Thanks

I would suggest to use header.asp file for this purpose (needs to be placed to include directory). In this file you can determine what is the current page name and display a link to one of help pages.
To get the current page name use Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")

Thanks Sergey, sounds good!!! I will try!!!
Now, some people sugested adding a link on the top of _list.asp close to the Export selected or Print selected links for example. Something like On-Line HELP where they can pass the mouse over and do onmouseover="showDetailsPreview... data based on a table with help info?. do you think is doable?

Yes, this possible as well. You can use similar to details preview approach. In this case you'll need to build a separate ASP file that displays help info depending on which table is in use.
See showDetailsPreview() function in include/ajaxsuggest.js file and detailspreview.asp file for more info.
