I'd say this might be a failure in user design; requiring a user to go through a tutorial before using your app can be a huge turnoff for many users. But it really depends on the subject area and what you're trying to accomplish. The best form of this is an active tutorial alongside the forms, that guides the user as they fill things out, but can stay out of their way. I don't have a ready example, sadly. The second best form of this is providing help callouts the user can hover over and/or click on. Generally a question mark icon is indicative of available help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
