Description Vince Kraemer 2005-02-09 02:02:00 UTC 
The page that displays when the user presses the
Help button on the Project Properties Dialog Box
when they have the Sources node selected has this
as its first sentence.

You open the Standard Web Project Properties
dialog box by right-clicking any standard web
project and choosing Properties.

The user has already shown (based on their
context) that they KNOW THAT.
Comment 1 Vince Kraemer 2005-04-20 19:58:14 UTC 
Maybe the "how to do what you have most likely already done" kind of info should
appear at the bottom of the page (or as a linked page) instead....

Does anybody read these requests/comments?
Comment 2 _ ludo 2005-04-20 20:01:40 UTC 
Yes, and you are missing two oother contexts where the use can see this page:
the online help is searchable, and also browsable, so the user has more ways to
reach this page...
So invalid enhancement IMO.
Comment 3 Irina Filippova 2010-02-17 08:42:40 UTC 
Agree with ludo. This help topic opens not only when pressing F1, but also it can be searched in javahelp. If a user comes to this page through search, it is important to know where/how to get to the dialog box described.
Closing as invalid.
