I was actually looking for more of a pre-built site content management
system. One that would know how to integrate with CF and to protect the
code. I was hoping Contribute was such a beast.
As far as inline WYSIWYG editors go though, you're right, SPAW looks pretty
cool. Thanks for the heads-up.

Mosh, I don't know if this is relevant but here is a good looking in-line
HTML WYSIWYG editor from Mauricio Giraldo.

Thanks everyone for the information. I'll give it some more thought, but my
first reaction given your answers is to lean away from Contribute.

No.

Yes, and it will lock it from editing.

Contribute understands includes just like Dreamweaver does. Which is to say,
somewhat.
It can display the included content but the content isn't editable. Also, it
can only display includes that are 1 level. So you could have a header.cfm
include, but if that header.cfm also has an include to a navigation.cfm, the
header will display but it will be missing the navigation part.
Also, you have to be careful with header/footer includes. The <html> <head>,
and <body> tags have to be part of the calling template. They can't be part
of the included header or footer. (It can work, but it's problematic.)

Yes. With caveats. It supports the regular <link> tag, and that will work
fine with one level of include as I mention above. However, the
Dreamweaver/Contribute engine has a ways to go for full-featured CSS
support. I've had problems with rendering when just trying to display a
simple background image defined in a linked stylesheet. Sometimes it would
work, sometimes it wouldn't. Ugh.
Another thing I've been working on is trying to combine Dreamweaver
templates and CF templates into something that works for both types of
developers. It hasn't been going well, but it sorta works. The weirdest
thing I saw though was the DW editable content area being bumped down to
below the layout table. After much hair pulling and looking at code that
worked in one place but not another, it turned out that it was a matter of a
line break causing Contribute to render it completely wrong. I changed that,
and it worked fine. That obviously shouldn't have made a difference, but it
did.
