Dreamweaver "Editable Region" Problem

[DiamondJoe_Q.]

hi, I'm developing a site in Dreamweaver and have made a template with editable regions. After numerous successful attempts in the past at using templates in Dreamweaver, I am now having a problem.

whenever I try to add content to the editable regions, it gives me an error message saying that the template is locked and I can't edit it. :confused:
Has anyone ever encountered a problem like this and how did you fix it?
thanks

The only time I ran into this is when I inadvertantly made a template of a template of a template... :D

Other than that - never ran into that problem.

no this is definately an original template. I have external Java Script files and a css file...I took them out and tried it, and it still didn't work

Look in the code view; when you leave the editable region in the template empty, DW sometimes has a hard time deciding whether or not you're actually are in the editable region.

If you look in code view, there are comments indicating where the editable and locked regions start and end; place the cursor in between the start and end comments of the editable region and you should be able to type in something, even if it's just a space.

Once actual content is there, all's well again and you should have no more problem.

thanks for replying

it's wierd, it'll only let me make changes in design mode and not in code view...I swear it always let me do it in code view
