Server Side text editor

... seeking suggestions for simple, basic editing tool

[austtr]

Most of my client sites need annual updates to tariff schedules and season dates. I'd like to turn over this very minor editing task to the client.

The job doesn't require an all singing, all dancing HTML editor... a simple server side text editor with a logon facility would probably be all that is needed.

Does anyone have experience with such a tool that they can recommend?

You want an online application? Google's Docs & Spreadsheets [docs.google.com] works along those lines, but I'm not sure about document security. You might want to have everything on your own server.

If a WYSIWYG editor could be integrated into a webpage interface to interact with your data then something like FCKeditor, HTMLArea or one of the many editors available would allow for some basic editing and formatting.

If it's just a simple document or spreadsheet you could make a password protected area and use an upload/download system.
