OK for a simple tip, to avoid using a third column, you're now requiring
CSS, JavaScript, cookies and server-side processing. :-)

And Microsoft developed IE with plenty of JS holes and popups to scare
people off. :-)

Perhaps, but I wasn't advocating sending people to another page. In fact, I
want the tips/comments persistent/visible right next to the items they refer
to -- as short as possible and visually differentiated; no CSS, JavaScript,
cookies and server-side processing; and no trips to other pages.
The real trick of course, is to design the darn thing so that the user needs
no tips.:-)
