A visual WYSIWYG method of editing a web site in a remote user's client web browser without employing any external code on the user's computer, including designating an editable feature in a web page and responding to a request from the user's web browser to edit the web page. The response includes downloading the requested web page in an editable form which allows the user to edit the web page in the browser. The web browser then submits an identifier of the web site, a version of the web site, an identifier of the web page edited, an identifier of an editable feature, and indicia of a new selection for the identified editable feature. The web site stored on the server is then updated to incorporate the new selection for the editable feature. The revised web page is then downloaded to the user's web browser.

Remote web site editing in a web browser without external client software

A dynamic web-based application for WYSIWYG editing of a web page generates editor functionality embedded into the web page using standard markup language so that a remote user with permission can edit the web page in a standard web browser without installing any external software. The resulting 'editable web page' includes at least one editable content cell, such as a text cell or graphic cell, identified by an editing icon and interactive editing behavior.
