FCKeditor is just a replacement for the TEXTAREA field in a form. So, it has
no relationship to DW templates.

Hi Tine,

I haven't tried it, so I really couldn't say... However, because Murray said
"The server has no clue what
DW template markup means." That is one reason why I wouldn't use it unless I
knew that it knew what the template markup means and wouldn't alter/remove
the DW template markup. I would suggest contacting their support to find out
for certain. http://www.fckeditor.net/Support/

If you haven't done so already, you may want to check out Contribute
http://www.macromedia.com/software/contribute/ which doesn't run on the
server, but allows the user to make text changes. Most importantly, it
understands and respects template markup.

Hope that helps and good luck!

Thanks for your answers to all.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean with "replacement for the TEXTAREA field
in a form", sorry.

Are you saying that my customer can't make changes in the text for instance
on this site http://www.tinemuller.dk/baadfarten/ - lets say he want to
change

Baadfarten

and he want to delete Baadfarten. Can't this be done?

FCKeditor is a fancy textarea. It's part of a form. You need to load text
into FCKeditor to edit it.

Normally, you'd use something like FCKeditor as the front-end to a database
CMS system. It sounds like you just want to enable people to edit static web
pages. If that's the case, look into Macromedia Contribute instead.
