Yea. I'm going to have a tough time educating my users already. > This was discussed recently, the comments in this thread may > help:http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-spinoffs/browse_thread/thr... For me, utopia would be a small icon on the left side that says "edit". I need to dig out my photoshop and see if I can come up with it. The mouse over features are great but I think my users are not going to mouse over text areas that are editable. I need to mark them somehow. But, I'm using background colors as degrees of warnings or errors. So, that is already in use. The other idea I had (have barf bag close at hand) is to put some text in it but make it the same color as the background. I'd do this in the Javascript code. And set the color back to normal when it goes from blank to non-blank. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
