<h2>You can specify parameters to show help with different tabs as default.</h2>
<h3>Display Contents Tab by Default</h3>

<h1>Specifying Help Topic by Context Number</h1>
<h2>
You can specify a specific help topic by number</h2>
<p>In this case, topic 2. However, mapping web pages to help topic IDs is cumbersome.</p>
<div class="code">
<A HREF='javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0, "WebHelp/Webhelp_Demo.htm<strong>>First</strong>",
HH_HELP_CONTEXT, <strong>2</strong>)'>Link Here</a>
</div>
<p>
<A HREF='javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0, "WebHelp/Webhelp_Demo.htm>First", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 2)'>Popup Specifying a page by context number.</a>
</p>
<p>
Note the ">First" tag which specifies the type of window to open. In this case, it is supposed to show the navigation panel, but it doesn't work.</p>
<h2>You can suppress the navigation pane in the popup window.</h2>
<div class="code">
<A HREF='javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0, "WebHelp/Webhelp_Demo.htm<strong>>SecondWindow</strong>",
HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 1)'>Link Here</a></div>
<p>
<A HREF='javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0, "WebHelp/Webhelp_Demo.htm>SecondWindow", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 1)'>Popup without Navigation</a></p>
<p>
Note the ">SecondWindow" tag which specifies that the window should be opened
without the navigation bar.</p>
<div class="code">
<A HREF='javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0, "WebHelp/Webhelp_Demo.htm><strong>MainWindow</strong>",
HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 1)'>Sample Opening in MainWindow</a>
</div>
<p>
<A HREF='javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0, "WebHelp/Webhelp_Demo.htm>MainWindow", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 1)'>Sample Opening in MainWindow</a></p>
<p>
Note the ">MainWindow" tag which specifies that the window should be opened without
the navigation bar.</p>
<h2>Display Context Sensutive Help in a New Window</h2>
<p>
To eliminate the problems with popups, the best solution is to display the help in a new browser window.
</p>
<div class="code">
<a href="WebHelp/Webhelp_Demo.htm#Topic1.htm" target="_new" >New Window Link</a>
</div>
<p>
<a href="WebHelp/Webhelp_Demo.htm#Topic1.htm" target="_new" >New Window Link</a>
