Hi all

I was asked the other day is it possable to make text in a web page easy editable for some one with no knowage of HTML.
With out using an expensive WYSIWYG editor.
I thought yep no problem just insert a lttle Java Script telling it to right the text from a plain text file.
Then the plain text file can be edited with know knowage of coding.
So I tryed making this simple little script and could'nt. Embarassed

Could someone tell me if it is possable to do it this way and how.
Or is there a better way around the problem anyways.

Thanxs John

There are tons of free WYSIWYG editors out there, does your server has support for ASP or PHP ?

Hi

Yep true there are free WYSIWYG editors out there but have never used them and was unsure if they would be any good for what is needed ???

I thought the Java Script idea would have been dead simple, but that is not so, as I found when I tryed to do it.

I just need a way, for some one with even less experiance than me on computers to be able to edit text from web pages, that have already been built for him.

Yep you can use PHP on my server.
But I have never used it before.

Thanx John
