Hi,
I've created a calender page using CSS, Div tags and javascript.
This needs to be updated daily as to who is out for the day.
I updated it easily by editing the HTML. When I am out someone else needs to update it and they do not know any HTML and make mistakes.
Is there an easier way to do this?
Maybe with XML and a text file?.
What is the easiest way to be able to update a web page on a daily basis that is basically a list of names?

Thanks

If you had access to a database, I'd throw up a basic admin site, and let the database drive the updates. If that isn't an option, you could buy Macromedia Contribute, and let them update it through a visual editor.

Unfortunately neither of those are options.

You could use any WYSIWYG editor such as dreamweaver, etc for them to edit it in the way it appears on the site.

Your best bet, just teach them a little HTML. If you've separated content from presentation like you're supposed to then things will be fine. But if you must use a WYSIWYG then use Amaya (http://www.w3.org/Amaya/).
