Well this is something I hatched in my brain in about ten seconds, so it may need some work.
One thing you can do is set up, if you're able (i.e. no proclamations about being frameless) an "invisible frame" - i.e. you do 'rows="100%,*"'. Put your main content in the visible frame, and set up the second, invisible frame, to be on a timed refresh. When a user can't find something, and clicks the "send a 'help!' to the admin" button, you store the particulars of that request in your database. Tag it with some identifier for the user - i.e. some UUID that you store in a cookie, IP number, whatever. Admin does his surfing, and updates the database record with the proper link. Remember the second, invisible frame, with the page that's refreshing from time to time? That page always looks in the database for a record with the user's identifier, AND that has an admin-supplied solution. If it finds one, then it executes a JS popup that displays the info the admin supplied, in whatever form. Maybe set up this page to autorefresh every minute. If it finds nothing (no requests for help that have been answered), this page should execute super-super-fast and not be a burden on your server/bandwidth.

IN fact thinking it would have to be frames based. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
