dwt

[Guest]

I am building a 300 page site using the corporate template found in
FrontPage. I elected to use a style sheet for the design, and Dynamic Web
Templates. I've been able to save the index page as a DWT, and to select
three or four areas on that template to be edited. My problem is that I
can't select some areas to be edited. When I click on them and then on the
manage editable areas, the manage editable areas is not active. What could
be the problem? I can select some things, but not others.

I've added a layer, and then try to select the layer and make it editable
and it will not allow me to do so. Any suggestions?

I am using FrontPage 2003.

Thanks in advance for your help,

IbFunner

Select the region, switch to code view and manually insert the editable region & name it
- note: always make sure you have a valid html block area of a tag selected
(not a split between say a part of a table or cell/row or just a part of a tag)
The editable region tags are simple:
<!-- #BeginEditable "yourregionname" -->
<title>Page Title Here</title>
<!-- #EndEditable -->

<!-- #BeginEditable "yourregionname2" -->
<p>Some text here</p>
<!-- #EndEditable -->

And to add, make sure you have what Stefan has shown, and not something like
this -

<p><!-- #BeginEditable "yourregionname2" -->Some text here<!--
#EndEditable --></p>
(note the editable region inside a pair of <p> tags)

or this -

<h1><!-- #BeginEditable "yourregionname2" -->Some text here <!--
#EndEditable --></h1>
(note the editable region inside a pair of <h1> tags)

otherwise, FP will ding at you when you try to add new paragraphs or other
block-level elements to that editable region.
