Thank you all for the helpful responses! It's always nice when you at least have a direction to head. I will have to take a look at all of the options you sent me and see what I can come up with. I think that if we can find a way to make the interface like you have suggested Zope might fly. I do have another question though...Say I want a custom header and a custom footer...and maybe even a custom left navigation bar...and I go with the Dreamweaver version...the Dreamweaver file will have extra <html><head><title><body> tags...what is the suggestion to take care of this? As in I just want them to be able to edit the middle section... Thank you, thank you! You have made this research project a bit more manageable. :0) Jen --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Sure it can. The HTMLDocument product (a snap to set up) makes this easy. You can edit a Dreamweaver file normally and it will place the "standard" header and footer around it. The Dreamweaver user doesn't have to understand *any* of this; they just design the content of the page, and all the navigation, etc., falls into place perfectly. A page like <html> <head>Hi!</head> <body> <h1>News</h1> <p>This is news</p> </body> </html> might become automagically managled to <html> <head> .. all the meta tags, etc. that the standard header has <title>Hi!</head> <-- taken from their dreamweaver page </head> <body> <table><tr> <td> ... navigation column from standard header </td> <td> <h1>News</h1> <p>This is news</p> </td> </tr></table> </body> </html> (and since it's easy to script Zope to handle neat navigation stuff, their pages can have breadcrumbs/contextual navigation, etc., rather than the same header/footer for each page.) We use this in our consulting section (www.scw.org/consult). Our staff edit the content pages in Dreamweaver, and they upload them via dreamweaver. These get "wrapped" with the navigation on the top, left, and bottom. hth, -- Joel Burton <jburton@scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington
