Can't edit editable region in frames

Hello, my name is justine and i am trying to edit an area in the website i am making by using frames. I have made the #maincontent area editable and i can type in the area but it wont let me edit the CSS rule for #maincontent (text colour,size etc). when i do try it comes up with:
"Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or translator. The change will be discarded"
I do all my work through the design view and don't know much about html. if you could have a look at the html and give me any ideas on how to solve this would be very much appreciated:
</div>

<div id="mainContent">
    <h1>Index (Home)</h1>
    <p>   </p>
    <p>   </p>
    <p>   </p>
    <p>   </p>
    <p>   </p>
    <p>   </p>
    <p>   </p>
    <p>   </p>
    <p>   </p>
    <p>   </p>
    <p>   </p>
    <p>   </p>
    <p>   </p>
    <p>   </p>
    <p>   </p>
    
</div>

<br class="clearfloat" />

</div>
in between all of the <p> <p/> is "&.n.b.s.p.;" (no full stops) but it wont show up in the forum for some reason
Thanks

First off, I suggest that you go back and recreate your pages without using frames, which are collections of html pages tied into one frameset for presentation. Frames are not easy to use, and have many strikes against them, notably that they are not bookmarkable, you can't use the back browser button reliably, etc. I could go on and on but will not.
Second, if you have not already done so, I encourage you to do some great tutorials on the Adobe site. That will boost your knowledge a great deal, as well as your confidence in what you are doing. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/css.html
Many of us would like to work mainly in Design View, but you will find the real power behind the Dreamweaver tools in learning some XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets along the way.
Your phrase, "I have made the #maincontent area editable" implies to me that you have made a page and created a Template from it. If that is not the case, then it is a byproduct of having been working in Frames. I don't really see how that could be, but error messages may be thrown by particular situations that might occur, both in a 'normal' page and in a 'Frames' page.
If your site is relatively straightforward, I do encourage you to discard the Frames approach and join us in the div/CSS world!
Best,
Beth

How can I edit individual video frames?

I have been searching the web and scratching my head trying to figure out a way of scrubbing a bit of content out of a few frames in a video.
I have iMove (the latest version) and I have Final Cut Express (obviously a few years old now) and would be prepared to buy other software if necessary.
I think there's only about 10 frames I need to, basically, be able to "draw on" so I can smudge away or draw over the bit on the video we want gone.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Martin

If you have iMovie '11 what you want to do first is go to the iMovie Menu > Preferences > check mark Show Advanced Tools. Now select and drag the closeups from your Event Folder into the Project Browser and drop them dead center on top of one of the video clips where you want the closeup to appear. In the pop-up menu that appears choose Cutaway. iMovie will continue playing the 'background' sound track while the 'closeup' video appears on the screen.

Editable Region going Crazy

Good Morning All,
I have created a template that I can use for several pages.
I added a layer so I can place my editable region, I have try
to move the editable region but it adds where my cursor is located.
Can I resize editable regions and move them in place? (it
does not let me do it)
Is there a editable region options, will it be locked that
prevents me moving it and placing it in the possition I want.
Did I did this correctly by adding a layer in the main
template and placing the editable region inside that layer? (when I
add text it wont follow the pages margins, meaning if I resize my
browser it will just stay as is)
I try by using one of the prebuilt templates in dreamweaver
8, and it does the same thing, It wont let me possition that
editable region where I need it to be...
Thanks so much for any help.

What?

It seems you are thinking of template regions as if they were
layout
devices - they are not. They are sized to contain whatever
you put into
them. The size that you see them render in Design view has no
effect on the
layout whatsoever. They are rendered within the container
into which you
place them, so, if you want to move one, delete it and then
re-insert it.

You can place editable regions inside any HTML element that
can otherwise
contain page content.
> (when I add text it wont follow the

Of course - that's how absolutely positioned elements behave
(layers).

You 'position' an editable region by positioning its
container, e.g.,
If you put it into an absolutely positioned div (Layer) then
you would place
that div where you want the content to appear on the page.
If you put it into a table cell, then you would structure the
table so that
the cell appears where you want it on the page.
Get it?

How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
Have fun.

Can an InCopy editor add, remove and edit a text frame placed inside the main story text frame?

I think I already know the answer to this which is - no. I'll explain why I am asking the question in a second, but the reason I think the simple answer is no is because - text frames are controlled by a designer in the layout file, an editor using incopy can only edit the text and images placed inside text frames, and so cannot resize them, add or delete them.
Ok, so the reason I have asked this.
Is there a way around this so that editors in incopy can edit certain types of text frame that are contained within the main text frame? I'm using these text frames to contain specific paragraph styles, giving them a boxed look and also with an anchored icon in the top left of the text frame depending on the type of paragraph it is. See screenshot as an example of a green text frame that I am using to contain paragraphs of type "tip".
If it is not possible for editors in incopy to add, edit or resize these text frames (green tip frame in the example above), then how else can I style these paragraphs to give the same visual appearance, but without the use of wrapping them in a text frame?
One (not so good) way around this is for the designer to add the text frames in the layout file after he gets the content back from the editor, then moving the "tip" paragraphs into these newly created text frames. However when the editor updates the content in incopy and gets these new text frames in their copy, they can not then delete them if they wish to, or if they add or reduce content inside of these green text frames then the frames dont grow to fit their edited content. So I dont think its a solution for the designer to control the adding, removing and resizing of these frames.
UPDATE: I have just discovered that once a text frame has been placed into the document by the designer and the editor updates their copy in incopy- they can then use the "Position Tool" to select that text frame - allowing them to resize it, or delete it! Fantastic. But would the editor be able to add these frames in themselves to begin with? Maybe have a document containing all of the objects available to them, copy and paste one of them into the main document and edit its content? Does anyone have any advice on how to go about this? Essentially I would like the editor to control the insertion, editing and removal of these inline text frames.

True. But when all I am trying to achieve is a border around a paragraph, use of a table seems overkill to me. But if thats the only solution I have so far then I will have to go down that route.
It would be useful to have an object libraries panel in InCopy so that editors can drag across predefined text frames into their doc via InCopy, but I cant see that option in InCopy. is there one? I have also thought about exporting the frames as seperate InDesign Snippets and saving them to an objects folder, then when an editor needs to insert one into their doc they simply use File > Place > "Choose required text frame snippet". However I have found that InCopy can't place InDesign snippets so that theory was a failure. Is there another format I could use to save the objects and bring them into InCopy? List below shows my findings so far for trying to save/export a text frame from InDesign and then import into InCopy:
InDesign Snippet (.idms) - can't import into InCopy
InDesign Document (.indd) - imports content as an image - only editable in InDesign
InDesign Template (.indt) - imports content as an image - only editable in InDesign
InDesign Library (.indl) - can't import into InCopy - no panel available in InCopy for object libraries (that I can see...)
InCopy Markup (.icml) - only imports the text, loses the text frame

Can't Delete Non-Editable Region in Template?

Well, I can in existing templates but if I create a new one from an existing page using "Save as Template", when I try to delete a non-editable region in the template, DW won't let me. I don't know why. Aaaargh!
It's my understanding I should be able to edit anything in a template. I've tried existing DW and restarting. I've tried using other pages as a basis for the template. Every template I create won't let me delete non-editable regions. I'm highlighting the non-editable region and pressing the delete key. I can't delete.

burro_mail wrote:
Not sure DW is doing what you describe...
But I am certain you could remove the region in code view.
Even if you are a WYSIWYG-er and not a big code-head, it should be pretty easy to remove the region markers and everything between them...
Trust me, it is. I'm wondering if the problem is associated with the fact that the source page that I saved as a template was based on a template? I just noticed that this new template refers to another template. I'm thinking that means the other template is controlling what I'm trying to do in the current template.
That's it. I just tried saving a template under a different name (still retaining the correct template file extension) but did not do the save as template. Now I can completely edit that template. So you if you save a page that is controled by a template, as a template, that new template is controlled by the previous template.
I've got a headache now.

Because I didn't create the code, rather it was dreamweaver, i believed that DW is obviously broken. Because I have a bunch of sites I made in earlier versions and when I start using a newer versions, CS5, I now can't access the editable region in any of them it seems DW is broken. So, I didn't think the code was necessary. I thought it was something that others have already experienced and resolved. However, that doesn't seem to be the case. Thanks though for helping with what appears to be broken. Hopefully it's an easy fix because there's other sites I have that this annoyance is plaguing me...

Can't edit 2nd editable region

Hi,
I have a template which uses CSS and DIVs. It has 2 editable
regions, each within a DIV.
When I open a document based on this template, for some
reason only the first editable region is editable. The only way I
can edit the second is to turn of styles or go into code view.
Any ideas why?

> That's just being picky.
> It makes no difference whether it is absolute or
relative - it doesn't

> either way!
Well, for it to be a layer, it has to be absolutely
positioned, and the
difference in behavior between the two (absolute vs.
relative) is certainly
NOT picky.
Remove the overflow:auto style on the div#main container, and
you'll be able
to edit it in Design view.

Can't edit any editable region but the first one!

I have a CSS layout and I am trying to edit documents that
are based on a template that has CSS only layout, the only Editable
Region I can edit from within Dreamweaver seems to be the first
one, with a Flash object in it, all the other ones I can
double-click until I am blue in the face and I cannot get DW to let
me into edit the area, it's driving me crazy.
What can I do to fix this!
Please help.

Show me the template, please.

Can only edit one editable region

Hi,
I have defined two editable regions in a template. I can edit one fine, but not the other. The one I cannot edit is for a submenu and picture on this site: 67.199.64.241/
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is the code (which I cannot edit in InContext):
<ul id="navleft">
<li id="nav_hom"><a href="/index.asp">Home</a></li>
<li id="nav_do"><a href="/whatwedo.asp"> Who We Are</a></li>
<li id="nav_cabout"><a href="/consumers/login.asp">Current Consumers</a></li>
<li id="nav_pabout"><a href="/pa/about.asp">Current PAs</a></li>
<li id="nav_cal"><a href="http://www.calendarwiz.com/calendars/calendar.php?crd=cdchoices&" target="_blank">Calendar</a></li>
<li id="nav_pro"><a href="/profiles/profiles.asp">Profiles</a></li>
<li id="nav_news"><a href="/news.asp">CDC in the News</a> </li>
<li id="nav_lnk"><a href="/links.asp">Links</a></li>
<li id="nav_blank"><a href="/message.asp"> Message from CEO</a></li>
 <a name="submenu" id="MainContent2"></a>
<li class="c2">
<div ice:editable="css_styles,media,hyperlink">
OptionalMenuPicture
</div>

</ul>

Use this:
<ul id="navleft">
<li id="nav_hom"><a href="/index.asp">Home</a></li>
<li id="nav_do"><a href="/whatwedo.asp"> Who We Are</a></li>
<li id="nav_cabout"><a href="/consumers/login.asp">Current Consumers</a></li>
<li id="nav_pabout"><a href="/pa/about.asp">Current PAs</a></li>
<li id="nav_cal"><a href="http://www.calendarwiz.com/calendars/calendar.php?crd=cdchoices&" target="_blank">Calendar</a></li>
<li id="nav_pro"><a href="/profiles/profiles.asp">Profiles</a></li>
<li id="nav_news"><a href="/news.asp">CDC in the News</a> </li>
<li id="nav_lnk"><a href="/links.asp">Links</a></li>
<li id="nav_blank"><a href="/message.asp"> Message from CEO</a></li>

<div ice:editable="css_styles,media,hyperlink">
<img src="/images/smallpics/cl_07_2425.jpg" width="170" height="174" alt="Constance Laymon, executive director, Consumer Directed Choices"><br><ul id="navoptional">

Can't edit anything in editable regions.....

Hi.
I've set up a few sites with InContext Editing and only one of them seems to have this problem.
The problematic site is hosted through Yahoo! and I am able to register the site and connect to it through InContext Editor. However, when I browse to a page with editable regions, I can see the regions outlined properly but can't click inside them to make any changes. I can also toggle b/w the text, image and link controls but none of the functions within those work.
the site files that i've added editable regions to are as follows:
this file is not attached to a DW template......
http://www.choreojournal.com/index.html
this file is attached to a DW template........
http://www.choreojournal.com/ci_contributors.html
I've successfully edited pages that are AND are not attached to DW templates so I don't think that this is the problem.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of existing issues with using InContext Editing with sites hosted by Yahoo!
BTW....I'm not a fan of hosting on Yahoo! but my client is and I'm having to wrestle with all of those limitations.
Thanks in advance for any insight and guidance that anyone can provide on this issue.

Hi Florin,
I tried it in Firefox 3 and it works. IE 7 didn't like it. I originally set all of this up on my laptop which has IE 8 on it so I just assumed that IE worked no matter what. Looks like I need to install IE 8 on my desktop as well.
But Firefox will work for now.
Thanks for the tipoff.

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?
Line 5, Column 53: Bad value X-UA-Compatible for attribute http-equiv on element meta.

Can't load swf into editable region

Am using DW CS4 in W7 64.
Have designed an html site with one page that has a swf to control dynamic content with php.
All the pages are created based on one template and al is fine until I try to place the flash file in the editable area of the html page. It seems that no swf files can me placed in this or any other editable area of the page.
When the swf is put in the follwoing error comes up "While executing object Tag in Flash htm, a JavaScript error occurred"
Any one else had this issue? More to the point anyone found a work around?

To test the theory, as I had previously loaded CS4 onto my old XP pro machine, following a fresh install of XP Pro, and as Dreamweaver had never been started on the is machine before, I then created a brand new page from the template and tried to load in a swf file, but got the same error message. For a fresh install this couldn't be a corrupt file. A friend also tried this on his machine and had the same result.
I don't normally use either templates or SWFs, but I have just done a quick test in Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows Vista 32-bit. Dreamweaver inserted the SWF into an editable region without demur. It's definitely not a Dreamweaver bug.
Did your friend use the same template?
Since a JavaScript error is being generated, I suspect you have invalid code somewhere in your template, or perhaps you have given more than one element the same ID. Validate your page with the W3C validator (http://validator.w3.org/), and eliminate any errors it finds.

Dreamweaver Template: circle with diagonal line in editable region, but can still edit

Since upgrading to Dreamweaver CC 2014, for only one of dozens of clients, in a Template, I get a circle with diagonal line in editable region, but I can still edit it, I just can't click to the spot that I want to edit, I have to navigate there with the up down left and right arrows on my keyboard. And, I created a new Template and it didn't happen, until I "got" a file, and now it happens in the new Template too. What's going on?

Sorry, I'm new here. Do you mean like a screen shot? I just thought maybe somebody had seen this before and would just tell me "you need to uncheck the something or other"
