Experiment: jQuery + JSON inline help plugin


Click on a field:


Overview

Testing the viability of a jQuery/JSON based plugin for populating inline help guides that appear when a field is selected. Field IDs and matching help text is added to and pulled from the JSON file.

My thinking is that it would be cleaner to keep the text and the IDs they relate to as separate as possible. I'm considering even removing the class that the JS is searching for since IDs pretty much do the whole job.
