Re: [Hypercontent-users] Editable areas

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hi Carl,
	We do something almost identical to what you are describing on one of 
our latest sites

http://www.columbia.edu/hr/index.html

If you navigate across the top-level pages you'll notice that each of 
them has a slightly different box arrangement.  Adam should be able to 
describe the implementation in more detail, but I believe in XML you 
could just have a repeating element "right-box" with a single child 
"html" and an attribute for its title, and in XSL and/or CSS you could 
set up the actual on-screen positioning.  E.g.

<!ELEMENT page (html,right-box*)>
<!ELEMENT right-box(html)>
<!ATTLIST right-box title CDATA #REQUIRED>

and call different templates with "/page/html" vs. 
"/page/right-box/html".
