Page locked by tempate or translator

Question

I am trying to simply delete some HTML from a page and I get
the following error message.
"Making this change would require changing code that is
locked by a template or a translator. The change will be
discarded."
The code I'm deleting is simple HTML and it is within the
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable --> and ending tags.
What the heck is going on, and how can I fix this?? thanks
for your help!

Answer 1

This usually means one of the following -
1. You are working on a child page, and trying to delete code
that is in an
uneditable portion of the page, or
2. You have invalid HTML on this child page somewhere,
causing the template
engine to try to fix it, and in doing so it discovers that
it's working in
an uneditable portion of the page
So - does the page validate when you try it here?
