Inline Help

Hi,

Basically, I am thinking about implementing a dynamic inline help page for site users so that users can get more assistance if they need it, without the need to have instructions filling the screen that might be redundant to the majority.

I had considered a simple, "Get Help" button which would drop down a box containing the instructions.

Is this hard to do with javascript, and what are the other options. It's just that I would hate to have users locked out due to disabled javascript.

Maybe it would just be better to set a help=on parameter in the URL and reload the page with the help included.

Any thoughts / assistance would be appreciated.
