+<h3>Field Aliases</h3>
+
+<p>When making changes to a view it can be inconvenient to have the field id in the controller. To work around this,
+you can give your smiley links a generic name that will be tied to a specific id in your view.</p>
+<code>$image_array = get_smiley_links("http://example.com/images/smileys/", "comment_textarea_alias");</code>
+
+<p>To map the alias to the field id, pass them both into the smiley_js function:</p>
