Abstract:
1. A method employed by a computer user for accessing help/training content associated with a web-based application for dynamically displaying help/training content associated with at least one object dynamically triggered in the web-based application, the method comprising the steps of: accessing the web-based application in a first browser window through a proxy server wherein the web-based application outputs a page comprising at least one object, wherein the object comprises an element of the page; wherein the proxy server receives the page from the web-based application, identifies the at least one object and annotates the page to associate help/training content to the at least one object; and wherein the proxy server further initiates a help/training tool associated with the web-based application wherein the help/training tool displays a separate second browser window for simultaneously displaying help/training content with the first browser window containing the web-based application; dynamically triggering the at least one object in the page of the web-based application wherein the step of dynamically triggering the at least one object in the first browser window automatically invokes a simultaneous display of help/training content associated with the triggered object in the second browser window; and dynamically triggering a second object in the web-based application, wherein content in the second browser window is replaced with content associated with the second object; wherein the web-based application as displayed to the user remains unchanged and wherein the web-based application and the help/training tool operate independently.
