| System Requirements |
| |
- Servers
InstallPoint will install all SimpleWebsiteEditor files in an "SimpleWebsiteEditor" folder in the domain's root folder. SimpleWebsiteEditor runs through one central Perl script named swe.cgi (swe.pl).
- Apache/Unix
SimpleWebsiteEditor v6 requires that the server be running the suExec utility. SuExec is recommended by Apache and is a basic requirement for running any Perl or PHP program that allows users to alter files on the server through the browser.
- IIS/Windows
SimpleWebsiteEditor will run on any Perl enabled IIS server. You may need to have the server administrator enable Execute and Write permissionss for the domain.
- Browsers
- Explorer
SimpleWebsiteEditor is not a webpage, it is a browser-based interface to a Windows application (mshtml.dll). SimpleWebsiteEditor will not run on Apple or Linux operating systems and requires a Explorer 5.5, 6 or 7 browser.
SimpleWebsiteEditor uses pop-up dialog windows for many functions. If you have a Pop-Up Stopper running - disable it while running SimpleWebsiteEditor or set the Stopper's preferences to always allow Pop-Ups for your domain.
SimpleWebsiteEditor is set to run on Explorer's default "Medium" security settings. If you have adjusted security settings you may need to re-set them to the "Medium" default or make your domain a Trusted Site.
Set Tools>Internet Options>General>Temporary Internet Files>Settings>Check for newer versions of stored pages to Every visit to the page, or Automatically. (Other settings will prevent the browser from displaying the changed page when you save it.)
- Explorer 7
Explorer 7 has some new security features
Open a page on the website.
Then Tools>Internet Options>Security tab
click Trusted sites
click the Sites button
Add the website to the list
If you do not want to have to access the site in https, uncheck Require server verification
click Custom Level
1) under Misc enable Allow websites to open windows without address or status bars
2) under Scripting enable Allow Programmatic clipboard access
3) under Scripting enable Allow websites to prompt for information using scripted windows
- FireFox
SimpleWebsiteEditor requires the browser to support the contentEditable attribute to be able to use editblocks, includeblocks and excludeblocks. FireFox instead uses the DesignMode attribute which references the entire page instead of individual elements. Rather than cobble up a kludgy workaround, like putting editable areas inside messy iframes, we've opted to wait for FireFox to mature.
Although FireFox does support many non-W3C Explorer standards such as innerHTML and scrollIntoView, it does not support others such as outerHTML and contentEditable. Mozilla's claim to be W3C compliant is no more honest than a Presidential press conference.
We hope that FireFox's Version 2 will mature to support more real-world standards. If it does, SimpleWebsiteEditor will be re-tooled to run on FireFox.
Although SimpleWebsiteEditor will operate only on the Explorer browser on Windows, edits made to pages will validate for HTML 4.0 specs for all browsers on all platforms.
