No Edit Script

Sep 9, 2005 7:32AM PDT

I went on a few webpages, such as gmail.com, and where you can see the FrontPage edit button in IE if you have it installed, it is faded, so you cannot directly edit it(the page). Is there a script that is used to fade the edit button, or is it some other reason? If it is a script, what is it?

type="application/atom+xml" looks to me that your editor may not understand it.

I don't understand what you mean.

Research XML

Since the page uses XML, it's too likely your web editor is pre-XML.

On Gmail the edit button fade's for all my web editors like: excel,word,frontpage,publisher and notepad.

They all work on this site, but i believe bob's explanation is correct and that frontpage and the rest dont support xml.
