Hey guys,  
I tried posting this thread in Client-Side thinking the solution was Javascript. However doing some reading it looks like I need to use PHP. I need to allow a single page on an HTML site to be edited allowing a user to add/edit news.

Things I need to accomplish:

- Allow user to login to a page (even if just with a password)
- Let user edit a single page
- No use of database or CMS
- Self contained, not requiring extensive server technology (now able to alter permissions)

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would most appreciate it. I found this page ([onlinetools.org/articles/editablepages\_all.php](http://onlinetools.org/articles/editablepages_all.php)), which sounded like it was what I needed. The problem was that the sample didn’t even work, so needless to say my page didn’t work either.

Thanks!
