Hello everyone,

Name's Sam and this is my first post. Thanks in advance for all the help. I tried asking for feedback elsewhere, but this is the first time i join a web-development forum. :)
----------

so ive been asked to do something and have been researching it for a while, but i only found really complex solutions. (and i know there is something simpler out there ).

SO here is what im trying to figure out:

i have 2 files in my website:

http://mydomain/index.htm (FILE1 from now on)
and
http://mydomain/admin/index.htm (FILE2 from now on)

All I'm looking for at the moment is some code/WYSIWYG/text editor that i can put inside FILE2 that would open up FILE1 and let me edit the contents from an admin point of view. Obviously, i would also want to save the output to FILE1. FILE2 would always edit FILE1's latest look. This can be done in different ways, but i dont want to migrate the whole website for now to a CMS.
Im not looking to incorporate databases yet or anything of that sort YET (but i will in the future).
i KNOW there is something simple out there, i just cant seem to get my hands on it! dunno.gif

ANY help is greatly appreciated. thanks! :D

look on www.hotscripts.com - the first WYSIWYG text editor i found would (i think) be what you need - it was called openWYSIWIG i think. all you need to do is find a script to save which wouldnt be hard. therre might be other scripts on the site that save as well so have a look through
