Guys i have a HTML page named me.htm I am interested in being able to edit this on the go(edit it online), i don't have such option in my hosting panel So i am looking for a simple solution. I am on a Windows server (ASP is supported) Basically the page me.htm consists of 1 <div> element which contains paragraphs I need to just edit the content, the text and simply save it Is there anything that anyone could recommend Pref some type of user protection (but not necessary) so only certain people can edit it Thanks

frankly ? do it by FTP. You'll get the user protection (password to connect), security (change the FTP port, use a secure software like WarFTPd ) and easiness (edit on your machine, transfer, and it's done) If you insist in editing the file online, I suggest you use some CMS - content management system - or, more basically, that you program that page to be an ASP script taking its contents in a database, that database itself being edited remotely from an other ASP script protected by a login/password authentication. You'll find a basis for such a script called "GestDB.php" on the http://www.edainworks.com website, in the free webmaster's tools. that's what I did and would do in your case. Just design your page to be some DIVs, valid HTML code, and put ASP code to extract the DIVs' contents from the database. Then use the gestDB script to edit the database from remote. Very easy, 5 minutes on windows ;-)

I have to have it online and it needs to be simple SO i have the following code but it doesn't save can you have a look <TEXTAREA name="bytheway" style="width:700px; height:700px;"><% page_to_read="news1.htm" set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject") set act = fso.opentextfile(server.mappath(page_to_read)) read_text = act.readall act.close response.write "<html>" & server.htmlencode(read_text) & "</html>" %> </TEXTAREA><input type="submit" method="POST" value="Submit" textarea="bytheway">

well, I'm absolutely no ASP coder, but it seems that if you put this in a FORM with action=write.asp, then the write.asp page can write the file news1.htm back to disk, thus reaching your goal. You may also have action=same script in which case you'll have to code the DB write before redisplaying the textarea (which will then re-read the updated textarea contents, trivially). BTW this is wrong : <input type="submit" method="POST" value="Submit" textarea="bytheway"> there is no textarea attribute on the INPUT tag, the Mozilla Firefox browser + Tidy (HTML Validator) extension would have told you ;-) you should have : <form method="post" action="samescript.asp"> <textarea name="bytheway"> ... </textarea> <input type="submit" method="POST" value="Submit" name="save"> </form> and this'll work. Just test that $_POST['save'] (or the equivalent in ASP) is set, check sanity of the input, addslashes() and off you go : write to the DB.
