We used Motive to develop online help. A more simpler approach, if you're creating online help, is to create a downloadable .CHM file for offline viewing. This could be installed from a CD. If the client has web access, you could provide a link on the web page or from within the WebHelp, etc.

In response to all 6 or 7 (!) versions of this message that I received, I
can only say...

You missed my point.

I wasn't asking about development tools, presentation formats, or delivery
mechanisms.

I was telling the previous poster (Donna Jones?) that a web-based help
system's need for Internet connectivity is not a drawback when it documents
a web-based application. You have to be connected to the Internet to run
the app, so you're most likely connected when you want to read the help.
