Pages looking weird in incontext editing

My pages looks just fine in the browsers and also in BC preview. But when I go to editing, everything looks weird. The design is not looking the way it should, and I can not reach some of the editable regions,as they appear under another misplased part of the design. I have validated the pages so they should be ok. Does anybody else have the same problem?

Yes, I do. It seems that pages that used the "Impressum" template have this problem. I'm not sure why they do, when others don't, but if the support team takes a look at the pages (any of the pages from that template) perhaps they can figure it out.
I have a site in development that uses that template, and have told my clients not to edit the pages until I tell them it's okay. Which is unfortunate, since we're at the part of the development cycle where I'm just waiting for content. But it's a lot easier to put it all in myself than have them try to use the new Content Editor when you can't see anything on the page.
I'll submit a ticket when that part of the system is back up. (It's currently down.)
Thanks for reading!

Pages look weird after reinstall

I formatted my drive, installed Win7, then reinstalled my CS3 suite. I created "new" sites to match the ones that I already had and pointed them to the folders where the files were.
The pages all look weird in DW now. It only shows a header (a php include) and nothing else. If I publish the page like this, when it gets to the browser it looks fine. I've included page code below, and also a screenshot of what I'm seeing in DW. If anyone can help me get back on track I'd appreciate it.

You are missing your DOCTYPE on your page, it should go in-between

Create a new page and the first up to 3 lines will be your DOCTYPE, as an example

Using Incontext editing with PHP pages

Hi,
Has anyone established whether you can use incontext editing
with php pages. My site works perfectly except for the pages i have
created in php. The reason i have used php is that they are secure
that only certain users can access.
The error message that comes up is: "No input file specified.
" But the page is up.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
Chris

Hello Chris,
Yes, it is possible to edit PHP pages with InContext Editing,
however InContext Editing should not be used to edit dynamic
content in PHP pages. If you edit dynamic content that is loaded
into an InContext Editing editable region, it will be overwritten
as static content.
In regards to the problem you're experiencing, it appears to
be an issue with the HEAD http request. InContext Editing is using
HEAD requests to check the existence of the draft and published
versions of the current page (in your case, InContext Editing is
making a request for products_bedroom_draft.php). If those calls do
not work as expected (the HEAD should return status code 200/304 if
the checked page exists, 404 otherwise) then you will experience
this behavior.
A HEAD http request for products_bedroom_draft.php is
returning a 502 Bad Gateway status code which is not what InContext
Editing expects.
Please contact your web hosting provider for assistance with
this server issue. This will likely require changes in web server
configuration.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Best regards,
Corey

InContext Editing not showing "edit page" button

I made a site for someone using dreamweaver and defined areas as editable regions.
I've used InContext Editing before and found it really easy with no problems until now. When I log in from my computers (varrying between 3 different browsers and 2 different operating systems), it works just fine.
At the top I see exactly this:
There are two rows at the top, and I can click "edit page" and it works perfectly.
When the person I made it for logs in, he see the top row... like this:
Clicking "Edit Site" seems to do nothing for him (well, me neither, but I can just hit edit page)...
I can't check what's going on with his computer because I don't live where he lives, but I had him make sure he had the most recent version of flash, and he does.
Does anyone know of any common problem with this? Does he have too old of a browser? Is he disabling something on his browser that's blocking the second row?
I've googled this pretty thoroughly and can't fine anyone that has had the same problem

Assuming here that you have set up ICE regions on that page...
And that he "accepted" your invitation to do ICE.

Using InContexT editing, how do I give specific users editing writes to different pages within site?

I have trawled around the support pages but although it mentions in passing that this is possible, I can't seem to find out how to do it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hello Rupert,
This version of InContext Editing does not offer a method to specify access rights per pages. This is a functionality that we have in mind, but we don't have a set date for when it will be available.
Thank you,
Cristinel

Validating Pages that use InContext Editing tags

When will be possibile validate the pages with InContext Editing tags, when running it through the W3C validator?

Hello SallivanV2,
Here are a couple of links to unobtrusive Spry Data samples:

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/dom_utils/unobtrusive_spry_data2.html
But I think you might be better off posting the question in the Spry Framework for AJAX forum, since I'm certainly not the foremost expert on Spry:

I hope this helps!

XSQL page - rendered HTML looks weird on UNIX and Mac

The fonts are not coming out as specified when I view HTML produced by XSQL pages.
I thought there was something wrong with my stylesheet, but then I went to ws5.olab.com and saw the same phenomenon.
I'd like to make my pages look the same on Macs, PCs, and Unix boxes. Any ideas anyone?
<font face="arial, helvetica, san-serif" size="1">

XSL has nothing to do with fonts, really.
Your problem likely has everything to do
with straightforward differences in
how different browsers on different
platforms implements the HTML and CSS
specifications.
If you find the combination that works
for you with static HTML, then you
can use XSL to generate that combination,
but otherwise, it's not XSL to blame :-)

InContext Editing Too Slow

Hi Folks,
Love the concept of InContext editing but I don't think it actually works!
I am only working on a simply HTML page with one other user. It takes forever to do anything.
clicking the edit page button: 23 seconds
clicking the done button: 56 seconds
Clicking the publish button: 25 seconds then clicked ok and it took another 47 seconds.
This is the 3rd client I have tried this product on. Each time we have found it a great solution until we try to actually work with it. It's just way too slow so we stop using it.
I tried the Adobe demo pagehttp://incontextediting.adobe.com/demo/includes/ice/ide.html#page=news.html. It's supper fast no issues at all.
Is there some trick to setting it up that I don't know about?
I spent an hour in total this morning with tech support. 25 minutes on hold, then I spent more time actually going through license numbers then talking about my problem. They just told me that Adobe does not support InContext Editing. I was told to go to the support portal and put in a ticket. I went there, the support portal doesn't list InContext Editing in the list of support issues. What gives?
Thanks for any help you can provide
Sylvia

Hi Tom,
Here is the page http://webviewdesigns.com/haiti_earthquake_relief/includes/ice/ide.html#page=haiti_news_ja ckie.html
I'm using Safari (MAC PRO) and my client is using Firefox (Windows XP)
I've had the same issue before with client's on other browsers and desktops, servers configs.
The page is a news page for a Haiti relief site mini site. It's is inside my work site which is pretty big, could that be an issue?
I've attached it for you to look at.
Thanks
Sylvia

CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE
1. CTRL E has never worked and I have always edited my site via a link that my web designer has given me ,I don't get an error message just nothing happens, any ideas?
2. When I go through the link given to me by my web designer to edit the site the site appears but everything is smaller, font boxes etc, and not the correct size, I can edit ,however when I then exit editing and check to see if my site has changed nothing has .
Viewing the site outside of incontext editing all is normal, correct size etc , it is only when I'm in editing that the site appears different and not right.This is a recent problem and all ( apart from CTRL E ) has been fine.
Its almost like I have 2 websites one out here and one in incontext editing , any suggestions
Many thanks
Rik

That's correct Corey.
The client is in Cyprus accessing the editor through a Firefox browser, which he had been successfully doing for some time now.
His representative, using the same login and password in Canada is able to access the editor fine.
I've since sent him a seperate login invitation
I've asked him to try another browser / computer.
update his flash
He said his flash wouldn't update, so I don't know if it's an issue with his browser, computer, or user.
I'm waiting on the other two action items.
Thanks for your involvement.

How is i-Dialogue different from InContext Editing?

When I introduced Adobe InContext Editing to my Marketing Team, one of the members emailed me this link to see if it was the same idea:

i-Dialogue is something more componant based and ties databases and Saleforce (online sales management tool) into your sites. It's geared towards the medium to large business that require
They describe the product as:
"This powerful scripting and query environment allows customers to build or modify interactive web pages, forms and applications that seamlessly integrate complex data sources from Salesforce or other applications, all from a Web browser."
InContext Editing is ment for the average consumer without a lot of bells and whistles to complicate your users experience.
The biggest difference...the price.
i-Dialogue starts at $200 / month up to $1000 / month...and that doesn't include any add ons or charges for bandwidth overages. Many of which start at $1000 each.
Just take a look at the pricing page and you'll see i-Dialogue will quickly rack up in massive monthly costs: http://www.cubiccompass.com/editionsandpricing.aspx

How do i remove incontext editing to allow contribute to work

Hi, I am hoping someone maybe able to help...
A while ago I put a site together at applied incontext editing regions. After being notified that it will no longer work in May this year, I decided to purchase contribute and went through the labourious task of removing all incontext editable regions and replacing them with normal editable regions.
I have launched the site in contribute to test that everything works and it keeps coming up with 'You can't edit this page in Contribute because it has "Adobe InContext Editing" region(s).
This is on almost every page on the site but two which it allows me to edit. I have gone back to the Dreamweaver file and checked through the code, I am certainly no code expertI have compared it to sites which didnt have the InContext applied to it... I am baffled
Can anyone shed any light on the situation?
Much appreciated
Naomi

For anyone that has a similar problem....
I have now sorted the problem - my dreamweaver was not updating the server copy. I used FETCH as a secondary option by dragging and dropping the files. It updated the files and its now working! YAY!
I had to make sure all incontext code was removed at the top of the code there was a line as well as along side each editable region. I even took out the editable regions and replaced them with normal editing regions (not Incontext).

How do I remove "ALL" incontext editing code?

I think I can see the problem! - I have updated the file in dreamweaver but it
is not updating the copy on the server when I upload it...
I can see the code that I have deleted still showing at the top of the page - I just cant get it to refresh!
I will try doing it with fetch.....
Just done it with fetch and it works! - Dreamweaver will not refresh the server copy.

InContext editing error: This region contains content with dynamic behavior added..

We just set up a web site with InContext editing following the procedures in Business Catalyst documentation to do that. But now when we go to the administration section of the site, and turn on InContext editing, it won't let us update the text. We receive an error message:
"This region contains content with dynamic behavior added..."
Does anyone know what causes this problem, and how to fix it?

Hi,
InContext Editable (ICE) regions can only contains static areas like text and static assets, it cannot wrap around javascript – populated areas or dynamic content like slideshows. (most likely causing the error)
ICE can edit only static page content such as regular HTML content. It cannot edit any element that is dynamically updated for example a div (or another element) which is manipulated (created or its contents are modified) by JS– populated areas or dynamic content like slideshows. It cannot edit menus, content holders or content outputted by system modules or tags either.
By default, on a page that has no ICE editable regions defined the editor attempts to find any regions you might want to edit and if possible make them editable. If it does not find the correct regions you want to edit you will need to explicitly define some editable regions.
Refer to this article on Defining InContext Editing editable regions - http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/838/cpsid_83855.html?bc-partner
Hope this helps!

Page looks funny in IE, looks fine in Chrome, Firefox, Safari

Hi Everyone,
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This page looks fine in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome, but the formatting gets screwed up in Internet Exploder. Since I'm on a mac, checking is rather difficult for me. Aside from fixes to the code to get this to display properly, does anyone have any advice as to how to check stuff in IE from a mac, aside from 1) buying a PC or 2) asking PC friends to take screen shots? Here's the link:

Ok, that is weird. It seems to only be altering IE 8. I did a screenshot test of IE 7 and looked at it in 9 and it doesn't seem to be affected.
I had run your page through the validator before and only came up with unnecessary code for tracing and missing alt tags. Here is the block of code that first seems to be affected:
<td valign="top" class="style9"><span class="style12">Astor Piazzolla (Arg.)<br />
Alberto Ginastera (Arg.)<br />
Camargo Guarnieri (Brazil)<br />
Juan Orrego-Salas (Chile)<br />
Paquito D’Rivera (Cuba)<br />
Joaquín Nin (Cuba)<br />
Carlos Chavez (Mex.)<br />
<br />
Manuel Ponce (Mex.)<br />
<br />
Silvestre Revueltas (Mex.) <br />
Ricardo Lorenz (Venezuela)<br />
Manuel de Falla (Spain)/ Arr. Kochanski<br />
Xavier Montsalvatge (Spain)</span></td>
I then look at "class='style9'" and "class="style12" right after that:
.style12 {     font-size: 8pt;
     font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
     line-height: 12pt;
     background-color: #FFFFFF;
     color: #000000;
     font-weight: normal;
.style9 {font-size: 9pt;
     font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
     font-weight: bolder;
     color: #0099FF;
     text-align: right;
This tells me that you are not very familiar with code because DW created 2 classes named "style#". As you can see, both classes are defined, and both want different things, one is 9pt the other 8, one is normal font-weight, the other is bold, but both are defined on the same element. I see a pattern of this throughout your page which leads to apdivs that don't seem to have a purpose and a long line of <br /> tags to insert line breaks and create spacing instead of using margins and padding. Most here will argue that while DW is a great tool, a knowledge of HTML & CSS will always be better. Overall, I don't see any need for anything more complex than 3 styles; one for blue header, one for bold header and one for body text. Then insert your header 1, header 2, body text, and then put the following content inside table and repeat.
Based on what is there, in order to solve the problem efficiently, I would recommend starting at your template file (assuming you are using one, if not you should look at it for this type of layout). Then re-layout the body content on the page with the template in tact using the suggestions above. I would also recommend giving the below tutorial a quick read through in case some of the CSS comments I made did not make sense.
