A Tooltip Control/Component by Richer Components

Fully-integrated context-sensitive online help for ASP.NET. RichHelpTip™ is the first fully integrated help system for the ASP.NET platform. Using it, developers can easily add pop-up user assistance right within a specific web form, meaning that the end user has help right where they need it. RichHelpTip™ fully supports localization, so the help tips can be written in multiple languages and where the most appropriate language is displayed to the end user. RichHelpTip™ is cross-browser and has been developed specifically for Internet Explorer, Netscape, Safari, Mozilla, Firefox and Konqueror.
