    I'm as new to it as I am to your requirement, but have you checked out DotNetNuke[^]? It allows a lot similar to what you describe. Normally only site admins will use the edit feature of the HTML/Text module, but there are scores of other HTML modules available that allow 'customer' editing. I had to install it twice, but once going I saw what everyone raves about. It may look a bit clunky at first, but it's fully extensible and pluggable. The DJ's took pills to stay awakwe and play for seven days. - Jim Morrison, Black Polished Chrome.

        Yeah, I know quite a bit about DNN and it's not at all what I'm after. I'm talking about a tailor made solution for a very specific site that has to be home grown.

          OK, maybe I'm pushing this too far, but if you're going to be doing so much tailoring, why not tailor some skin and module that far, but still benefit from the built in functions. Unless the client don't want all of DNN etc. cluttering up their server. Some people may consider it a risk.

            No it's not that. They have an existing site that is not DNN at all, nothing close. They want it made dynamic and WYSIWYG editable. They bought DreamWeaver thinking they could do that. Sensory-overload changed their minds. They want a buttered-solution that takes the thinking out of it but they very much *want* their current site.

                For office administrators expecting something like Microsoft Word... Dreamweaver should come with it's own LSD samples. They had no idea what they were looking at. Most people think websites are just like creating a word document. Drag & drop an image format some fonts and you are done. Yeah, when they look at you and say that Dreamweaver is *not* what they want you know you have some work to do. Abstraction, remove the details, simplify, reduce. Sounds familiar right? ;) - Rex

                  I think I'll go and fire up my DreamWeaver tutorials again in the hope of a cheap flashback. The DJ's took pills to stay awake and play for seven days. - Jim Morrison, Black Polished Chrome.

                    ICK! How about some some assembler that took a bit of thinking in much the same way that brute force problem solving and dynamic programming did the first time I saw them. Yeah, I had to sit and think real hard for a bit. - Rex

                      Huh? I never agreed to not bring up Wiki's in public. ;P [If you're talking about the link you sent me last night, I was never able to get it to work.]

                      A wiki is essentially a CMS system with the editor built right in. You set it up and you're able to create, delete, update, and of course view pages within the wiki software. The wikipedia is the best example of this. There's no client side software you have to download to edit those pages. You just have to click the edit link and it'll bring up this editor right there in place of the page with all the page content in there. Then you just edit the page content, click save, and you're done. I think that should meet your requirements...right?

                      I went out there, in search of experience
                      To taste and to touch and to feel as much
                      as a man can, before he repents...
