Not sure which option you are asking about: Include vs DB: There are pros and cons to both. Includes can be transferred via ftp and are not completely dependant on a web based content mgt system. That said, includes are a true pain in the ass when it comes to doing a search. DBs are faster I believe (but am not positive).
Firefox vs netscape vs safari vs IE: for a mac user the browser of coice should be firefox of course. =) the nice thing about an internal site is that you can lock down what browser they use and only worry about 1. In fact, I one client where we check for the browser and if it is the wrong one then redirecting them to the download page for your browser of choice after a nice little note. Tiny mce vs fck edit: oh brother - the great debate. Frankly they are both frustrating apps that are the best I have found but are still bug ridden. We went back and forth and ultimately chose tiny mce because it seemed to be getting a little more support from the community. They pretty much do exactly the same thing. The trick is to make sure that your clients know that this is an "experimental" tool and that it does have some problems which you don't really have the power to fix (or the willpower or desire). Make sure they understand that this still requires some basic web/html knowledge - like file path and other common concepts. The other comment I recommend is to dumb it down and only give them select action and if the design of the site is important, have you or your designer create a series of styles to draw from and a limited color pallet. Avoids them creating html with bright yellow text on a purple background next to a red image. Egads you would be amazed.

OK looks like the 1st will run on everything but safari and the other may work on safari. These folks use Netscape on Mac although I am trying to switch them over to FireFox. So the next question is which one is easier to integrate with witango. on 7/4/06 22:28, Shane Pearlman at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > 1.
