  • box adjusts according to the amount of text.
  • but the help text goes right on top of any other items,
  • and when clicked outside the element the element should self-close. it does not do that yet.
  • if we added a header then the help would be movable on the page but not sure if that makes any sense.
  • you could also have the YUI hd element with the automatic closing button but I am not sure how to do that or if it is any better.
  • the position of this element would probably sometimes need to be adjusted on a per-page basis
