That way, for the people who don't know as much they can just stay in the basic part that lets them pretty much type in the info and the editor changes it into HTML and advanced basically gives them a blank slate to work with? Just a thought..

My idea was to have various web templates set up for the clients to chose from (my example was one) and then they could edit the text and images as they wanted. My only quandary was -- do I allow them to input html or not.

I misunderstood what you were going for... But this does give me another idea... Why not give them very simple things like [bold][/bold] and then you can control it all from css and they don't need to understand much about HTML? In fact, if you are using variables in your css, you could set it so that they could set what color they want [bold] to be. IE: .bold {font-weight: bold; color: $boldColor;} Or how ever you would have to define it so that it displayed correctly.. :) Anyway, just the ideas of a dutch novice take them as such :) -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.
