Placing edits "on TOP" of HTML files
« on: December 08, 2010, 02:20:38 PM »
I have an HTML question.  We have techs in the field that we send HTML files to.  Sometimes they want to mark up the HTML image details and are currently printing hard copies and faxing with hand written notes.....   Question, is there any method to EASILY place such notes on an HTML file, without going in to a regular HTML edit but more like placing text notes "on top" of the HTML file image?  Thanks in advance

What do you mean by "HTML file image"?

If I understand the question correctly you could maybe do something like use the append command line command to append the notes to an HTML file. However, adding text at the top of the HTML file or outside the <html></html> is going to break your pages in some browsers, especially IE.

Memo comments can be put in an HTML file within the code itself without altering the appearance of the web page rendered by the HTML file, but I don't believe that's what you have in mind here.

I believe you want to do is analogous to taking a photograph and annotating notes on the face of the photo.  If that's correct, one idea is to do a print screen, i.e. screen capture, of the web page as it appears when viewed with a web browser and then open the image, i.e. screen print, in a photo editing program and annotate notes on that image.  Even the simple Microsoft Paint program could be used for this, but more sophisticated photo editing programs might work better for this.

My memory is failing, but there was such a thing at one time where you could edit a co-worker's document and your notation would show in a different font nor color on the display, but not really be changes to the original document. This was not HTML,  but instead a way of sharing documents in a work group. It was/is a MS Word  feature for work groups.
But you said the hand write notes over an image and fax it to you.  Yes, there is an easier way to do that.
Padon me, I need a second cup of cafe' and I will get back here

EDIT: OK, back again. 
The broad term is document-collaboration

I think you're mis-interpreting what the OP wants to do.  As I understand it, they have multiple web developers working on development of the same website and they need to share ideas with each other regarding the web page(s) without each of them actually modifying the page(s) before getting group consensus on how to develop certain parts of page(s).  In other words, they are not developing a functioning collaborative website where multiple users within a company can each add content to the website.  To the contrary, they need an effective way to collaborate with each other on development of a regular website.

Another idea, in addition to my previous post, for sharing ideas about page design is simply for any of the involved developers to make changes they wish to suggest to the other developers, save that page file under a different name, and send it to the other developers so that they can see it and comment on it.

I would recommend maybe developing an intranet for the company network.

Thanks Soybean. Here is another idea, weak, but an idea.   :'(

The above is an image of a document over an image
The above image is at:
http://geek9pm.com/png/overwrite.png
The said document is at:
http://geek9pm.com/odt/overwrite.odt
If Open Office is already installed, it should open


(odt  not odf  Another typo  --AHHHgH)

Which would allow them to all work on the same web page files which would be stored on a server accessible by all developers involved, right?  Yep, that's a good idea.

No, I mean as in a discussion forum or something similar for sharing ideas. But I'm still not clear on what the actual question is.
