Error message when creating editable regions in a template

tinggg · Jun 27, 2005

Hi

I'm creating my first template using DW MX. When I go to save a change after creating an Editable Region I get this message:

You have placed the editable region h2 inside a <p> tag or other block tag. Users of this template will not be able to create new paragraphs in this region. Move the region outside the <p> tag if you wish to allow this.

Someone in the HTML forum suggested putting the editable region tags around the <h2> tags rather than inside them.

Like below but it didn't seem to work:

<h2 id="pageName">h2</h2>

Any ideas on how I can fix this problem as when I create a web page from the template its not allowing me to add content to the editable regions. No matter what region I make editable this message [the h2 is replaced with whatever I call the editable region] flashes up when I go to save the page. Thanks for your help

Here's the code on my page:

I have not tried doing templates without tables.

But after you do your initial layout. without any regions.

Try this.

Click in the design view where you want the edit region to be at - type a few letters to make sure it is a valid spot (also it serves to expand the spot). Then create a region.

Gut feeling is it will/may give you the same problem. Which leads me to think - try it outside of the DIV tags. But either way you'll need to fool around with it. I don't believe the template needs a table to work with, Div's should work ok.
