    Abstract: The described subject matter provides context-sensitive help for a Web-based UI. A first and a second computer are operatively coupled to one-another over a network such as the Internet, an organizational intranet, or the like. The first computer communicates a Web-based UI to the second computer. The communicated Web-based UI includes a first Web page corresponding to a number of predetermined functions of the first computer. Responsive to receiving a request for help corresponding to the first Web page, the first computer, determines/identifies the first Web page's context sensitive information. The first computer generates a second Web page that includes the identified context-sensitive information, and communicates the second Web page to the second computer for display. In this manner, the first computer provides context-sensitive help for its remotely displayed Web-based UI.
