We brought in a .NET coder to handle a content manager for a new client, and he showed us an example of what he uses. Once logged in, he used this DLL that allowed a user editing content to select any content, make it bold, or italic, or even make it a link, along with other html options. And this was all visual, as if you were using a word processor, or wysiwyg. Then, when you clicked DONE, it added the changed content to the database and updated the page.

My content managers have been extremely simple, and didn't allow you to make something bold or italic unless you knew the html tags to do that. Is there something like this for PHP? He said something about a java or flash version, but I didn't know what to search for, and therefore didn't find anything.

Thanks for any advice...

    Thank you... that was a big help!

    Would you be aware of anything like this that would work similarly on a mac?

    Thanks,

      Anything you can create in ASP or ASP.net can also be created in PHP. Just a matter of working out exactly what its sending to the users browser, and replicating it.
