[COLOR=red]Edit: Problem solved! Explanation and complete source code available below in my last post[/COLOR]
Hi
I work for a small Public Library and am rebuilding our website.
But I could use some help with a few problems.
I’m building a website with a small section of text located in a DIV box on the far left. Similar to the area on this website: [COLOR=#810081]http://oml.prl.ab.ca/friends.html[/COLOR]
(very similar, ours will have library news/info as well)
Anyway, creating the box isn’t the problem.
My problem is that I have to make that area easily updateable by the other
staff members.
But they aren’t familiar with Dreamweaver (Only Frontpage, and only with the visual side. HTML code is alien to them) . And aren’t all that comfortable with the computers.
I need a way for them to easily add text in the area of the site, without accidently interfering/deleting/messing with the other code on the page.
I can’t be responsible for editing the box, I’m out of a job in a couple months, and it will be nearly a year before there is money to hire another Computer savvy person.
I’m trying to fiigure out the best solution for this. The website is PHP/HTML/CSS
No Mysql or other databases are available. (web host restrictions)
Should I try loading in an external XML file?
I’m pretty sure they will need access to simple text formating (Primarily making Bold text)
But I could teach them simple html tags (<b> <i> etc…) as long as they can’t interfere with the rest of the page.
Hope that makes sense.
Looking forward to any suggestions you may have.
Thanks
Uhm.
