Its really not that hard of a concept... 1. Admin logs in 2. Admin navigates the site for an area where they would like to change text. 3. Admin clicks "edit" (which is only visible when an admin is logged in). 4. Admin edits the page, hits save and the text area changes to the updated text or whatever.
Its not uncommon for many interfaces to act this way on the web today. Its just not desirable for everyone, considering its not very graceful when degrading without JS. So I only use it on some internal, and manageable applications that are targeted to a specific browser setup. :: Justin Reagor :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Dec 2, 2008, at 2:39 PM, Matthijs Langenberg wrote: > Justin, > > If you use some javascript to provide additional administrative > capabilities, doesn't that confuse non-admin users?
