Thanks for the reply, davido

This is all understood. My thought's were to accomplish this through the use of Perl. All of this became possible early on with Netscape/Mozilla's "designMode", and IE's "contentEditable" document tag. While both browsers support JavaScript, and currently posses internal JS engines. JavaScript is not a requirement to implement an "Editable" web page. Don't get me wrong. I am not attempting to be argumentative. But I recognize that JavaScript is not a prerequisite for making a web page editable within a browser, that's all.

As such, I'm trying to imagine why I couldn't/shouldn't simply create a Perl Module that accommodates these browser features. Nothing fancy, just a basic editor. Seems like it'd be fairly handy. Costs the web client less resources that most, if not all the current JS based editors currently in use today.

Best wishes, and thanks again for the response, davido
