Has anyone attempted to use EditWrx along with Ajax tabs? I am using tabs for a clients site, they like it, but unfortunately, unlike includes where I can set them up to be edited on the page, Ajax tabs function differently. Still trying to figure out how to do it, other than opening up each included page separately.

The tabs script I am using is available here:

A classy example of tabs can be seen on Yahoo's homepage http://www.Yahoo.com

Cheers

The content that is brought onto the page by the Ajax call is not part of that page and can not be edited while viewing that page. You need to edit the file containing the Ajax content directly.

Thought so, and that's how I'm doing it right now. However EditWrx does show the Ajax content when I click on a tab, and it is editable. However, when it is saved, it overwrites the content of the host page.

Any safeguards/workarounds against an editor doing this? :-)

Place the area on the page where the Ajax content is displayed inside of an excludeblock.

<div excludeblock="1">

ajax content

</div>

When EditWrx saves a page it first reads the excludeblocks in the file into memory, then overwrites the file with what it was sent from the browser, then overwrites any excludeblocks now in the file with the excludeblocks it has in memory.
