If so, I've done this by making a cgi form that generates a text file which is then loaded into a html file as needed. It's pretty straightforward. In fact, I have several sites set up in that way. They access a cgi form I wrote wherein they pick the page they want to edit and the corresponding text file is loaded into the cgi form. They just edit and save. Then the corresponding html file when loaded by a browser will also load the text file via a -- <!--#include virtual="/pages/page1.txt" --> call from within the html. Now, with css, I would imagine that you would have a specific area for the text to load, such as: <div id = "firstline"> <!--#include virtual="/pages/page1.txt" --> </div> and that it's. The tricky part will be to write the cgi to allow the user to select and edit text. Now, I have set up an example for you: The site is: http://www.webbytedd.com/index2.shtml Notice down to "Results of users Input Below:" -- line 1, 2, 3. This is the data you will be able to change. Now go to: http://www.webbytedd.com/cgi-bin/edit.cgi?action=add The password is "aa" <-- be kind, this is a security issue for me. Pick the line you want to edit and then post. Then review the front page and you will find the text changed. I can provide code it you want. But considering that this is not technically a css issue, please contact me privately. tedd -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://sperling.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL-REMOVED]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
