You can pick up a copy for around AUD $220 from Harvey Norman or Harris Technology, it totally respects server-side code and standards, and if you use Dreamweaver templates you can specify which parts of the page the client is allowed to edit. It's very squarely targeted at *maintenance* rather than "you can use this to build your own web site". Highly recommended! A good way to limit what clients can edit within Contribute is to employ server side includes for the parts that you want to lock down. http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16675 ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
