   | Distinguished Member with 2,162 posts. | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Atlanta, GA Experience: Advanced | | Dreamweaver 8 + Non-Editable Regions In code view, how do I disable the protection of non-editable regions of an XHTML document? I'm sure it's something really simple, but I've looked around and haven't been able to find anything. I want to leave the non-editable regions in there for the CMS I'm using, but I need to be able to modify them. |  | Senior Member with 414 posts. | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: South Coast, UK Experience: Advanced | | is this if you are using templating? ie saving it as a template file and then editing onyl the regions set? well i think if you select it you can either delete it or rightclick and select something like make-editable. maybe im not sure.

Click the non editable region, go to Modify > Templates > Detach from Template. | | | Distinguished Member with 2,162 posts. | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Atlanta, GA Experience: Advanced | | It's not a template, it's just an HTML document. If I just type <!-- #EndEditable in a blank document, I can't type anything anymore (not even the comment's closing bracket). It's weird. | | | Distinguished Member with 17,880 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 2001 Location: Mexico of the North, MN Experience: Disenfranchised American Male | | Why would you put the tags in in the first place manually? DW will not allow you to add editable regions without creating a template first. You need to insert editable regions from the Insert >Template Objects > Editable Region. If you just put in a closing tag it will lock the document because DW is looking for the opening tag as well.

<!-- #EndEditable
And that's it, I can't type anymore. I can't even finish the #EndEditable comment! | | | Senior Member with 414 posts. | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: South Coast, UK Experience: Advanced | | why do you type that in?
that is what dreamweaver sees for locked areas, don't type that then.

#11 | Dreamweaver will only allow you to use editable regions that are based on templates PERIOD!! Create a template and you can create HTML pages with those editable regions as part of the page. | | | Distinguished Member with 2,162 posts. | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Atlanta, GA Experience: Advanced |

#12 | I'm not sure you guys are understanding my problem here. I'm not doing anything with templates - I'm trying to create a single HTML document. The CMS I'm using needs the #BeginEditable and #EndEditable comments, but once I type the comments to create one of those editable regions, Dreamweaver is locking the rest of my document. I don't want it to do that. Is there a way I can stop this from happening so I don't have to use Notepad? | | | Distinguished Member with 17,880 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 2001 Location: Mexico of the North, MN Experience: Disenfranchised American Male |

#13 | THe BeginEditable and EndEditable are based on DW4 and will lock the page if you are working in DW MX or later. Use these tags instead:
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="regionname here" -->
Editable stuff here
<!-- TemplateEndEditable --> | | | Distinguished Member with 2,162 posts. | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Atlanta, GA Experience: Advanced |
