What does the preposition 'in the behalf of' means?

Answer 1

In the behalf of means that you are doing something (let's say gathering money) for people who will be benefited of that (let's say the poor children) I am saving paper in the behalf of the future generations. It is a little bit similar to the preposition ON BEHALF OF, that means you are doing something (let's say signing a paper) but you are only representing somebody else (let's say your boss) I am calling you on behalf of Mr. Ramirez. Even though both have different uses, sometimes they are used one instead of the other with no major concern. Hope this help.
