After inserting editable regions, DW CS3 tells me none exist...?

I am having muliple problems with templates on this particular project, that I have never seen before. I was going to break them into multiple
questions, per the instructions here at the forum, but all of these relate to the same template code, which I will post below, so I think it would be
more efficient to include the related questions in this thread.
Background
I created this template by first scraping the client's existing site, which is a dynamic CMS site, with HTTrack. Secondly, I opened the HTML file generated by that processs, and saved it as a template in my DW project, which automatically assigned it to the "Templates" folder, and is accessable via the "Assets" panel (usual stuff.)
The reason for starting with a scraped version of existing is that this project involves moving the site off of the CMS platform and into HTML/CMS, yet preserving essentially the same design.
1. The most obvious problem I have is that in the subject line: after adding a couple of editable regions to my template,
when I save/preview, an error message comes up saying "your template has no editable regions, do you want to proceed?"
2. In doing the save as template operation, I am prompted with "Update links?" and I do. When I open the template, all looks good in DW, however as soon as I do a preview, I get a completely raw html page with NO css styling, no images, no fonts, etc. Conversely, if I do the same step, yet choose not to update links when prompted, then I get a template that looks completely bare in DW (no styling, no images, etc.) yet looks fine when previewed...?
Additionally, one other thing I tried was doing the save as template, choosing not to update links, and then moving it out of the templates folder into the main project folder - Here, it both looks fine in DW, and previews, yet I am unable to use it as a template (does not appear in assets, cannot use "create new from" or "apply", etc.)
I have also tried changing from "site root" to "document" in terms of linking, yet nothing has worked. Every time I have created a template on other projects, all has just worked fine from the start, so I am really stumped here.
The project will have too many pages to not use a template for updates, so I am hopeful that I can figure out what is causing this. Following is my template code:

There are (or can be), of course, editable regions in the head of a document. Typically, around the <title></title> you will find 'space' to put links etc, and meta tags:

<title> Your title here </title>
<meta name="description" content="Description here." />
<meta name="keywords" content="keywords here " />
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />

Further down in this same document, I find:

<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">

</style>
<script src="../Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

showing a stylesheet link and an embedded style.
So it's not so much that you can't have editable areas in the head of the document, it's more that you can't overlap or improperly nest ANYTHING.
You can also (am I repeating myself?) make a tag's attributes editable. I use that feature most notably for applying different IDs to <body> tags for different neighborhoods in my sites. By applying different body IDs, I can control more specifically elements on those pages. But that's a conversation for another time!
Best,
Beth

Why does this happen when I insert editable region?

Hi ppl... I got a small problem here. When I insert editing region into the ORANGEBOX div, for some unknown reason which I can't figure out, my spry menu bar shifts to the left. But in preview, it looks fine. What's the reason for this and how can I avoid it? The shifted spry menu bar in the workspace is disturbing me.. haha.. I have attached screenshots of the 2 states below (Before inserting editable region and after inserting editable region)
Before inserting editable region into the ORANGE BOX
After inserting editable region into the ORANGEBOX
Here's the code BEFORE inserting editable region.. If you are free, do try to insert an editable region into the ORANGEBOX, and kindly tell me why it's happening! =) Thanks!

Can't manually add editable regions to head in template

When I created my main template in Dreamweaver CS6 for my website, I had copied most of the page code from another layout I already had, including the head code. I did not realize there were already editable regions built into the head section of the Dreamweaver template and deleted them when I pasted my previous code without adding new ones. I then added an editable region to the body and started created pages using the template.
Everything works well and updates properly when I make changes to the template but now that I am trying to add those editable regions back to the head section so I can change the page title (and possibly add more responsive code), it doesn't work. I copied and pasted the following code into my template file in Dreamweaver and it saves in the template telling me it's updating the related pages, but when I open those individual pages in Dreamweaver, the code isn't there and those regions are not editable; only the original editable region I created in the body exists and works properly. Everything else continues to work perfectly.
Here is the code I pasted into the head around the <title> tag:

<title>Collings Document Database</title>

And here is the code I pasted into the head just before the </head> tag:


</head>
Any help would be appreciated. From everything I've read on these forums after searching, it sounds like pasting that code should work but I continue to get the results mentioned. Thank you.

Thanks for the response. I've run the template code through the validator and the following two errors are the only ones that showed up. I don't see how either of these would cause this issue. Thoughts?

Please Help Nested Editable Region Image & Spry

Please Help Me.
New to Dreamweaver. I've been given a "grandchild" nested temple with only one editable region to alter. I've read and Googled since Saturday. My brain actually hurts.
Goal
- Insert my background image into region
- Add Spry accordion to mid left
- Add Spry collapsible to bottom right
How can 3 things be so hard? Please, can someone walk me through this? Thank you

I've been given a "grandchild" nested template with only one editable region to alter.
Nested templates. Aaaaaak! There's no advantage in nested templates, ever. They're so problematic it makes my head hurt just thinking about them.
If you have the parent and grandparent template.dwt files to work with, you'll need to insert Editable Regions to hold your scripts and other supporting widget code.
If you don't have those files and you can't edit the <head>, you can't insert widgets into Template child or grandchild pages. You'll need to detach the page from Templates.

Making template background an editable region

Oh my goodness, I'm about to cry. I've literally and without hyperbole spent days trying to figure this out on my own. I have also contacted Adobe Tech help and was willing to pay for help ... all to no avail. I am SO hoping there is someone out there who is able to help me. My deadline to have this website finished is Monday, Sept. 03 and I am stuck. Now down to the question:
I have created a webpage which I have saved as template and which I want to use as my master from which all the other templates and pages on my site will be derived. I would like to be able to change the background in different sections of the site. The page I have created has an image, but other pages may just have a colour. Is it possible to make the background colour and image, as set in the page properties, into an editable region? And, if so, how is it done? If it is not possible, are there any suggestions for work arounds that will allow me at least some flexibility in this matter?
Any help on this will be gratefully accepted and enormously appreciated.
Thank you,
Malene

Thank you so much for the reply. I will be using the Master template I have created to make about another 6 templates. These templates I will use to create about another 200 pages. So, my thinking is that the best way is to make the relevant section editable and that is where I am at a loss. I am a novice designer and not at all versed in HTML, so I rely heavily on Dreamweaver's menus to perform various actions. I know how to make regions editable in general, but I can't find a way to use the "insert editable region" to make the actual background, as set in the "page properties" CSS, editable. I am guessing doing so requires some sort of HTML knowledge that I don't have.
In the code, this is the region I need to make editable (copied and pasted from my template's code):
body {
background-color: #e5dfd3;
background-image: url(../Images/Global/Toronto_Osgoode_Hall_1856.jpg)
; margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;

Modify Editable regions in template

I created a main template then created other templates from this templates. I now realize that I will need to change the image in the header in some of the nested templates. for example, there is a template for wisdom which has a child called wisdom videos. I wanted to change the header image in wisdom which would affect all of its children. I added an editable region to the main template which changed everything. I then changed the image in wisdom, but it is not going through to the child wisdom video, which is what i want.
How can i do that?
Thanks

I use templates (although I wouldn't touch nested templates with a 10-foot pole) and server-side includes.
First, I mentally separate the page layout into three sections:
1. Stuff that will not change for the life of the site (i.e., the basic
structural elements)
2. Stuff that *could* change from time to time (e.g., navigation elements,
burst advertisements, section-specific navigation, etc.)
3. Stuff that *will* change from one page to the next
Then I create a template containing all class1 elements. Next I create
server-side include files containing all class 2 elements and place them on
the template as needed. Note - some of the class 2 elements may be
"section-specific elements", and their placement on the template will be
subject to the next item. Finally, I insert editable regions to cover the
class 3 items, INCLUDING the section-specific navigation.
This allows me to just cookie-cut the rest of the site. I estimate that
even for fairly large sites, about 80% of my work goes into planning and
creating this template file.

Editable Regions Problem in CS3

I am working a set of pages based on the two column fixed with template.
4 Editable Regions.
Two Created by Dreamweaver
Two Created by me
Doc Title
Head
MainContent
Ad Area
Almost ALL of my additions are going into the Content Region. 80% of the time I have NO ISSUES
between Code View and Design View.
What is happing to me too many times now that it has become annoying......
I will make a simple code change in Code View, usually WELL WITHIN the editable region tags
and when I go to view what I did in Design View, I get an error box that says something like this.
You have made a code change in an area that is designated as uneditable.
If you wish to keep this change it will be lost the next time you update the template.
This could be a siple change like adding a bold to a piece of text.
A lot of times it happens whe I try to put a Container Div around some text.
It almost ALWAYS happens when I am trying to float something.
Is this a BUG. Is there a fix? I know I can't ignore it because I have seen what happens when I do that....
Please don't tell me to update to a more recent version unless that absolutely has the fix in it.
It cost me an arm to buy this product in the first place and if I had known how little I was gaining
I would have NEVER purchased it.I certainly don't want to spend any more unless it solves the issue.
The design view in CS3 STINKS! Design View was one of the reasons
I wanted the product in the first place. WYSIWYG. I was trying to upgrade away from years of using HotDog.
Two years of this now and I still find myself doing most of my design in Code View.
I don't TRUST Design View.
I do eventually publish to a copy without template marup but I need to code in the version that is still templated.
I do change the master template from time to time.
HELP!

Better than your helpless nagging would be that you share a link to your page.
... and your: Please don't tell me to update to a more recent version unless that absolutely has the fix in it. It's actually also not a very good attitude and (for me!) not a great motivation to help you. Ok, I have this program on the computer, even, but the reasons are to work here in the forum.
... and I quote from a thread here in the forum:
"It's not a word processor or WYSIWYG, never has been, but I think you're using those terms more broadly than the regulars in this forum use them. But if you're happy to use only Design View and let DW code then you'll get similar results to using DW8."

How to insert a widget in a editable region from a template

Hi there,
ok so basically I am trying to create a HTML page from a template i have already designed.
when I try to insert a widget (Lightbox Gallery) in the editable region I get the following error.
"the widget requires code that must be inserted into the head of the document. insertion cannot happen because this document is read only"
I saw a previous thread (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/901299) that had the same problem with a solution but cant seem to make sense of it.
Not exactly sure where and what to paste in the header of the HTML page.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Murray,
ha funny you would say that is the exact answer you would give me seeing you posted it
I understand the logic behind it though not sure what i need to copy and where.
Basically i craeted a "dummy page" and inserted the widget-no problem there.
next step- what code do i copy from the dummy page and where do i paste it? in the template or HTML page.
Dummy HTML with widget code

DW CS3 Remove editable regions

Hi
How does one go about removing an editable region in DW CS3?

Thanks David...it was rather a simple issue but for whatever reason my mind wasn't working and this had me stumped.
I have another template based question on the forum, once I get past this last issue, I think my troubles will be behind me. If you have time, please have a look.
Cheers!

CS6 Inserting table breaks editable region

In DW CS6 I am building out a site based on one template with three editable regions. I generally work in split view building PHP-MySQL sites such as the current one, and I have been building template-driven sites in Dreamweaver since 1998; but this problem has me stumped. Everything works fine until I insert a table into one of the editable regions. That region immediately becomes non-editable in design view (but I can edit in code view). It doesn't matter how I insert the table -- whether I paste code from another page where the table is being delivered, whether I use the DW Insert Table function, or hand-code from scratch. The result is the same -- I can no longer place a cursor in that editable region, in any design window.
I seem to remember from CS5 a similar situation with a workaround that included triple clicking somewhere, but I have not been able to find that in this forum or in my notes. Any suggestions?

The issue exists both at home and at the office. There may be minor differences. I am now at the office .

Dreamweaver Template Editable Region Old Problem

Hello,
Please, I need urgent help regarding the Adobe Dreamweaver
CS3 program for Mac OS X. It is, unfortunately, driving me crazy,
because I have now a problem that is not letting me edit any
editable region in the child pages I create and apply the template
to that page. I have tried to restart the computer, restart
Dreamweaver and even reinstalled Dreamweaver and made my Template
from scratch and nothing worked. The problem keeps there and
doesn't let me edit any editable region.
Here is what happens: I have created a Editable Region called
"Page Content". Also, another 2 editable regions called "Section
Navigation" and "Sub Navigation". These editable regions are just
there to make my job easier. In the Page Content part, I put the
content I want to add to that page, like text and a heading. For
the Navigations, I simply change the class of one list item to
"current", so that my CSS rule can be applied to that list item and
change the font, so that the users can tell in what page they are
now, you get it?
So, what happens? Everytime I try to make changes to the
editable region Dreamweaver prompts this message:
"You have made changes in the code in a region that is not
marked as an Editable Region... You will lose all of your changes
in the next update of your template. Do you want to retain all of
the changes?"
But IT IS A EDITABLE Region, so that is why I dont get it.
And it gets even worse, because after I lose all of my changes and
hours of work are wasted.
I hope you guys, experts in Dreamweaver can make my life a
lot easier by helping me solve this issue,
Please help.
Best regards,
Thank you for reading this and for the help in advance,
GB

How to remove Editable region from nested template?

I'm trying to remove an editable region from a nested
template while retaining it in the parent template. DW doesn't want
to let me do this.
Example:
- I've created an overall template call ALLPAGES.DWT
- In it, there's an editable region called "related links".
- The "related links" will stay the same for all my main
pages (welcome, news, info, etc), so I'd like to create a nested
template called MAINPAGES.DWT where the field is locked.
So here's what I did; I started a new page from ALLPAGES.DWT
and then I created a template MAINPAGES.DWT from it. Now I want to
remove the editable region "related links". According to the DW
manual, I should be able to highlight the region and go to
Modify > Templates > Remove Template Markup, but that
option is greyed out!
Apparenlty the only way of removing the editable region is to
create a smaller editable region within it. But that's unnecessary
and sloppy. How can I remove the region entirely?

I spent quite a bit of time using them, tweaking them,
understanding them,
and watching the problems that others have had here on the
forum. My
compelling conclusion is that there is nothing you can do
with nested
templates that you cannot do more simply and with far less
trouble by using
other methods, some involving other kinds of template
regions, and some
involving simple use of Library items, or better, server-side
includes.

This is not only unkind, it's completely erroneous. Far and
away, I am the
single most enthusiastic proponent for the use of templates
on these boards.
Perhaps a read of my book would help you rid yourself of your
attitude, too.
