But Firebug does not actually save edits back to the web server...I've used it myself from time to time, but I don't see any place to enter FTP info for uploading edited content. FB is amazingly useful if you are trained.... but

I'm looking for an interface for very naive users. Click, edit, save, like a wiki, but for an individual page, though they will face the "raw" html in the div where we let them work.

Should be pretty easy to build in iRev and I'll do it myself later this week but I just did not want to re-invent this if someone else had done it already.

Andre... you had a simple CMS right?

One of the tools that is really valuable to those doing web programming is:

The free FireBug plugin for FIrefox.
( http://getfirebug.com/ )
Also a lite version for IE, Opera, and Safari

This lets you drill down through all the parts of the web page being shown, and then make changes, or copy-paste, or...

In the Firebug panel that pops up on the bottom half of the page,
   Go to 'html' tab, then right-click on "<html>", choose 'Copy Html',
      then paste where you like

The right click menu choices are
Copy Html
Copy Inner Html
Copy XPath
Log Events
Scroll into View
New Attribute...
Inspect in DOM tab
----------------------
Tons of features and info

This is a very well-supported plugin (add on) and used by most anyone serious about web design/management.

I'm wondering if anyone has already build a page editor, kind of like a wiki thing... where you are on an iRev page, you click a button and (in my case) you get the html content for

<div id="maincontent">

# all the content of the page minus fixed headers and footers etc.
# the area to be edited

</div>

put that into a form field for editing, then send it back and update the page.

I suspect someone has done this already and if so can you share your page code?
