Abstract: A representational editing system for WYSIWYG editing of editable web pages with embedded content elements. The representational editing system presents embedded content elements in an editable manner that represents their actual appearance on the web page. Typically, the representational editing system displays an image in place of the embedded content. The representational editing system enables users to modify editable attributes of embedded content in a WYSIWYG editing environment.

Abstract: A method and system for WYSIWYG editing of dynamic content on editable web pages. Generated content is content that is received periodically from a dynamic source. Generated content may be represented on an editable web page by instructions that describe how to generate the dynamic content. The generated content system presents generated elements in a non-editable manner while allowing modification of their instructions and also allowing complete editing functionality of any surrounding static content. Thus, the generated content system allows the user to include generated content in an editable web page in a way that clearly identifies the generated content during editing and still allows the user to modify the content.

Abstract: A system for editing a web page includes receiving the web page in a normalized form, where the normalized form is independent of any browser form. The page may be displayed to a user, where the web page has been translated from the normalized form to a browser-dependent form, and editable by the user. The web page may be a Wiki or collaborate web page. Overall, described in detail above is a unified editing system for editing a collaborative web page is described. The collaborative web page having a normalized form that is independent of any browser form. The system displays the collaborative web page that has been translated from the normalized form to a browser-dependent form to a user, wherein the browser-dependent form of the collaborative web page is editable by a user. The unified editing system receives from the user the edited collaborative web page in the browser-dependent form. Other features and aspects of the invention are also disclosed.
