I have html help files and can generate a chm but would like to display "natively" in a web page. An example of what I want can be found here:

http://help.agi.com/stk/index.html

The above page has search and index buttons and the left pane changes appropriately when clicked.
There are also print and up/down buttons on the upper pane.
In the index pane if you press a topic it traverses the help topic tree and updates the display in the right pane.

Is there a tool or CP article that can be used to display windows html help on a web page?

It depends on what you want. Your help is in html format which means it's already a webpage. So, you can hyperlink to it, use javascript to open it, display it in an iframe, etc, etc.

That resource which you're referencing is just a simple HTML website, there is no fancy Windows related program assosiated to it, or any other such Applet that might require an OS related thing.

What you can do, is create a simple web page, and add all of the resources that you might want to add in it. For example, to create a simple web page that might say Hello world would be like this,

HTML

<html>
   <head>
      <title>Hello World Page</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <p>This page just says, "Hello World".</p>
   </body>
</html>

Now, save this file anywhere with an extension of .html.Enough! After this, you can simply call a Visual C# code, to run this file and the Windows will automatically open the file in a browser (because the default software application to run the .html files is a web browser).
