Description mux2005 2007-11-28 13:52:36 UTC 
It seems that input fields (css.text.TextField.Input) have a property called
"Help", but this is not documented in the IDL docs.

Comment 3 thomas.lange 2008-03-04 12:38:12 UTC 
According to the developer who added this property it is used for import/export
only, should not be used by the user at all, and thus was purposefully not
documented.

Thus setting to 'won't fix'.

If no one objects to this I will close this issue some days later.
Comment 4 mux2005 2008-03-05 07:14:26 UTC 
I see no reason why the fact that this property is only used for import/export
and should not be used by the user should not be documented. If it is
user-visible it needs to be documented. Besides, if it serves a useful function
in certain import/export operations it is likely that there are legitimate cases
when someone wants to modify this, even if the developer who introduced the
feature cannot think of them right now. 
So I'm reopening this issue. Undocumented features are a plague.
