Whenever faced with this stuff I usualy pull all the design out and
place it in
a seperate file (furnituire.html) and either call it in via a a server side
include or if not avaliable i reference a javascript file and document
write it
to the page, this way all they are working with is clean pages with 1 or to
calls to external resources and they can't realy break anything and if they do
its only going to be a simple task of re linking to the furnituire file
and all
should be well again, plus they can edit the pages in text pad if they
like, it
shoiuld save them and you learning a piece of software that you dont need to,
I've never been a fan of tying my work to having to be produced in a specific
peice of software.
