Question

paste not editable region

Asked by: DavidAsq

Template and editable regions working OK 9 files. Also seemed to be working OK on this one until I attempted to paste some text.Attempted to paste text below the heading "About Us" and then this happened. (see image) I deleted the file and used the template to make a new version. Same result - it also failed.
Any solutions please?

When using templates to create a page, the editable areas are bracketed by  . The areas between the  and the  are the editable areas. Note that the "name=" entry is different for each editable area.

If you want the image to appear only on certain pages (but not all) that use the template, your code should look like this:
<li><a href="About Us.html">About Us</a>
Insert Image Here
</li>

If you want ALL pages that use the template to display the image, open the template, and, in Code view, insert the image at the appropriate place, then save the template. When you save the template, Dreamweaver should automatically update all pages that are based on that particular template. Dreamweaver will tell you what pages will be updated. Be sure to then upload all modified pages to your website.

I'm not sure that I explained myself properly. I'm attempting to use templates in the normal way - ie a non editable area that remains constant and editable regions that change with each page.
I had completed 8 pages succesfully like this but the ninth page and everyone since then has not worked properly - I'm getting the
"Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator...will be discarded" error message.
So it seems when I did the ninth page something seemed to go wrong. Is there something wrong with my code that is preventing Editable Region 1 from accepting text?
thanks

SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT THE EDITABLE REGIONS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS ACCEPT KEY STROKES BUT NOT PASTED TEXT. THE PAGES THAT ARE WORKING CORRECTLY ARE ACCEPTING KEY STROKES AND PASTED TEXT.

It's possible that your template has changed sometime between generating your 8th page and your 9th page. If possible, compare your code between page 8 and page 9. I use Araxis Merge for this. It's extremely good for comparing differences between pages. You can download a 30 trial from http://www.araxis.com/merge.

I've had your problem before and it had been caused by changing the template but previous pages built on that template were not correctly updated.

Are you doing the editing on the template or on the page generated from the template?

DavidAsq,

What's the source of the text? When pasting text into Design View, make sure you don't inadvertently select container tags as that can screw up an editable region.

Also, you are nesting thing in very strange (and bad) ways:

<h2 class="style28"><span class="style19 style28"> </span><span style="color: #14315B">About Us</span><br />
<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'; font-size:12.0pt; "><br />
The CARROLL name has been synonymous with the Electroplating Industry for over 55 years. The Company has always retained a strong Family involvement passing the craft down through the Generations</span>

So your editable region above is nested inside a span which is also nested inside of an h2 tag. If you then try to paste in a container (such as a div), DW will most likely generate an error message.

JiimWarner- Doing the editing on the page generated from the template.

Jason1178- The text is geneated from a word document, emailed to me. Worked fine on the previous documents. I understandthat this is not ideal text!

You should be careful when pasting from Word because it can contain HTML markup and screw you up. I always right-click and select Paste Special when pasting from Word and select Plain Text and reformat in DW.

You want the Editable Region to be as high up in the tag hierarchy as possible. So instead of this:

<td width="100%" height="100%" align="left" valign="top" background="images/greytowhite copy.jpg"><h2 class="style28"><span class="style19 style28"> </span><span style="color: #14315B">About Us</span><br />
<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'; font-size:12.0pt; "><br />
The CARROLL name has been synonymous with the Electroplating Industry for over 55 years. The Company has always retained a strong Family involvement passing the craft down through the Generations</span></h2>
<h2 align="left" class="style28"><span class="style19 style28"> </span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;"> </p>
<blockquote class="style27">
<blockquote>
<blockquote> </blockquote>
<p align="justify" class="style2 style14 style16 style27 style29"> </p>
<h3 align="justify" class="style2 style14 style16 style29"> </h3>
</blockquote>
</blockquote></td>

You probably want something like this:

<td width="100%" height="100%" align="left" valign="top" background="images/greytowhite copy.jpg">

<h2 class="style28"><span class="style19 style28"> </span><span style="color: #14315B">About Us</span><br />
<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'; font-size:12.0pt; "><br />
The CARROLL name has been synonymous with the Electroplating Industry for over 55 years. The Company has always retained a strong Family involvement passing the craft down through the Generations</span></h2>
<h2 align="left" class="style28"><span class="style19 style28"> </span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;"> </p>
<blockquote class="style27">
<blockquote>
<blockquote> </blockquote>
<p align="justify" class="style2 style14 style16 style27 style29"> </p>
<h3 align="justify" class="style2 style14 style16 style29"> </h3>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>

</td>

The second code block makes the entire TD editable and would allow you to add any content or other data structure needed. All you would need to do is remove all of the empty tags and extra styles to have a clean content cell.
