I need to add a help message to a section on a form. It will be a small graphic with a '?' on it that they mouseover and a popup appears with instruction/help message. But the '?' graphic is not a link. Possible?

For the button:

<img src="path/to/theimage.png" onclick='showHelp(0);">
And the showHelp(); function:

<script type="text/javascript">
var help = [];
help[0] = "This is my first help tooltip.";
function showHelp(index) {
var hwnd = window.open(); //apply your window attrbutes
hwnd.document.write(help[index]);
}
</script>

This is a simplified version of the window.open() method.
