I wonder whether someone may be able yo help me please.

Firstly, my apologies as this question doesn’t relate to a specific problem I have, but is rather a hope of receiving some guidance please.

I’m trying to create ‘help text’ content which will appear on some of the pages for a project I’m currently working on. I’d like the help text to appear upon a suitable ‘help’ icon being clicked.

I had been trying to work through this tutorial, but have found it some what troublesome, so I’ve trying to search for similar tools, sadly, without any luck.

I just wondered whether someone could possibly please point me in the direction of tools which I may be able to use, or perhaps tell me whether this is a technical term for what I’m wanting to achieve, so that I can refine my ‘Google’ search criteria.

Many thanks and kind regards

    I use colorbox for stuff like this (not sure if you had a design in mind, but colorbox is a generic modal overlay plugin).
    http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox

    If you look at the demos page for it, you can look at the “inline HTML” link, the “ouside HTML (Ajax)” link, or the “Outside Webpage (iframe)” link, and I bet one of those would meet your needs for the help box.
