the javascript help button in the Options window needs a help id and a help topic
This also belongs to javascript.editing/../JsOptionsController. There is no mechanism to provide HelpCtx through the underlying JSPreferencesPanelProvider.
What button do you mean? There is just the generic Help button in the main frame. Maybe this has changed, can you please look at it again? I am attaching a screenshot of how it looks for me.

The screenshot is correct. The help button currently has some generic help id for the options window: netbeans.optionsDialog.advanced the button needs a unique id so that a help topic can be mapped to it
This is a duplicate of Issue 140044. The topic and id have been added, and the help button was reactivated - so the issue could be considered resolved. However, it currently (NetBeans Dev: 200904220201) doesn't work due to a larger issue (see Issue 164068). *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 140044 ***
