http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/
"October 14, 2003 -- The W3C has announced that XForms is now a Full Recommendation. From the same people who gave you HTML and XML, this new standard is set to change not only the way we build web sites, but all applications."
Are there any browsers allready supporting or implementing XFroms?
Another point is the idea of Kars Veling to edit directly in a site and extend lists and fields with an edit possibility in case the user is logged in with edit rights. This saves a lot of wizard structure, because the site is already the structure. He told me that he has written the code for new tags with editors, but that it is only commercially available.
Jaco and i were experimenting with this last thursday afternoon. It seems that you can in Internet Explorer since 5.5 with using the method 'contentEditable' in your Javascript to make a div or some other HTML editable <http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnmshtml/html/createwp.asp>. There still no equal equivalent in other browsers. Mozilla uses Rich-Text editing, but you can only edit a whole document (not part of it, f.e. a div) and in most examples <http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2003/midas/01/> its implemented using an iframe (presumably to create the impression that you are editing in one document). Mozilla does not support Internet Explorer's contentEditable attribute which allows any element to become editable. The current HTML-editor in the edit wizards uses the Rich-Text editing implementation for Mozilla and i believe contentEditable for IE. I believe Rich-Text editing was originally not intended to edit *in* web pages but to edit *whole* web pages in Mozilla's web page editor <http://mozilla.org/editor/midas-spec.html>.
Ergo: Although MS ceased the further development of IE like two years ago after they won the browser war, there is still no method like contentEditable in other browsers.
