Will editWrx work in IE on a Mac? Since Microsoft basically abandoned IE on the Mac platform several years ago, I deleted IE and use Safari and Firefox. But if the only way I can use editWrx is via IE, then I will reinstall. I'm afraid buying a PC is out of the question.
Thanks.Last edited on Sun May 21st, 2006 09:38 pm by cnymike |

| EditWrx will only work on 5.5+ Explorer. The Explorer development for Mac quit at 5.0. EditWrx will not run on a Mac.

That's a disappointment.
Any ideas for something similar to what you provide that will work with Macintosh OSX?

Explorer 5.5+ uses the contentEditable attribute, which is required for block editing. No other browsers support that attribute.
The best place to search would be http://htmlarea.com

Thanks Keith. Sure wish I could use editWrx, it looks like the exact solution I was looking for...even more than I was expecting to find. My primary purpose was to be able to have multiple users editing areas on the same page. the only other thing I had found that would work on Mac was something called Flyspeck, but it only allowed multi user directories, but not multiple user editing on the same page.
I'll check out htmlarea and see if there is something else that would work for me.

Why not install Boot Camp on your Mac and then install Windows with Internet Explorer 6.
Just a though:-).

| Boot Camp requires an Intel Mac, which I don't have. If I had an Intel Mac and used Bootcamp, it would also requires me to buy a copy of Windows XP which is, what, $225 or something? Good idea, but not in my budget.

Well actually it's a great idea. It certainly might hasten my decision to buy an Intel Mac. Sure would solve a lot of problems.
If only editWrx would work with Firefox, it would provide a cross platform solution.

| If FireFox supported the ContentEditable attribute, EditWrx would work on it. Then we'd all be happy :-)
