Well first I'm a goose cos I never turned sessions back on (so the test was flawed but then I was tired so it evened out I guess hehe). re: http://www.blog.lindenlangdon.com a) is proven that the change from relative to absolute url did nothing to cure the problem - even though at one point

[WSG] Restricted HTML Editor?

2004-08-26 Thread Simon Chalmers
I recently spent heaps of time building a site using css and standards-compliant HTML pages. Now I need to hand back content editing to a pool of unwashed users. They like changing fonts, adding bright colours, bold, underline, centering etc whenever they get the chance. Ideally I'd like to be

Well, something like HTMLArea allows you to customise the toolbar, so that you can remove functionality that you don't want the unwashed to have. The problem is that I recall it doesn't produce 100% standards-compliant code AS ** The

Someone posted a list of WYSIWYG editors from their bookmarks folder a few days back (Tue, 24 Aug 2004 07:34:25 -0700 (PDT), according to my email client) - our development team has been looking at implementing one for a while now, so this was of some interest. Out of the 8 listed, the one which

Hi Simon, I am on the XStandard dev team. I am not going to do a sales pitch on this list but I will say that XStandard was designed for the requirements you described. There are no font-selectors or color-pickers to hide because these tools create non-standards compliant markup, hence these

[WSG] GeoURL/Seach engine localisation

Yep, that's what it stands for... more of a programmers joke than anything else, methinks. It is a standard of sorts for detailing lat/long, specifically for locating blog-sites whose authors are geographically nearby. I'm sure it could be used for postage rates and other things, as you say, but
