Simple Question Editable regions

Are editable regions in Dreamweaver 8 intended only for
Contribute control of page changes?
Or does other client or serverside programs make use of this?
Thanks

Are you sure it uses DMX-level template markup? I'd be
surprised.

Editable Region? + Macro? (2 questions!)

Hi. Can anybody answer my 2 questions? . . . . I'm pretty new
to Dreamweaver . . . sorry if the answers are totally obvious to
the rest of this forum!
QUESTION #1! - "Editable Region"
I have a DW CS3 template, with the following "Editable
Region":
 
I want to create a NEW page, based on that template.
On the NEW page, I want to then manually 'copy-and-paste'
some variable text into the "Editable Region" field.
The text I want to paste contains some FORMATTING
instructions (the words will sometimes be in ITALICS, or sometimes
BOLD, etc).
Unfortunately, at present, my "Editable Region" ONLY allows
me to copy-and-paste SIMPLE TEXT into the field (i.e., words
withOUT any formatting).
But when I try to copy-and-paste text WITH formatting into
the field, I get an error message something like this: "This would
violate the formatting rules for this field" (blah, blah).
Sooooo. . . . HOW can I change this situation, so I *AM* able
to copy-and-pate my text string WITH the necessary formatting into
the "Editable Region"?
QUESTION #1! - Macro?
Is there a "Macro" function in DM CS3 that I can use to
*RECORD KEYSTROKES* to speed-up repeated tasks used when editing
documents or other things I do? Something like Microsoft Word's
"MACRO" function?
The "Command" function does not appear to be a powerful
"Macro" equivalent . . . because I think it can ONLY record a very
limited set of predefined menu-based options. Not 100% flexible
like Words' "Macros" ---where, for instance, you can tell a macro
to "Find such-and-such a word, change the CASE to all UPPER CASE,
then apply ITALICS to jus that word, then go another specific text,
then SAVE the document. . . . . ad infinitum.
If no, does anybody know of a THIRD PARTY keystroke-recording
product I can buy that WILL allow me to record keystrokes like that
in Dreamweaver?
Thanks much.

Huh? You're going to have to show us some code.

We will need to see the page and its underlying code to be
able to tell you
this.

DW's history will record keystrokes, and allow you to replay
them. But you
are wanting to do more than it can accomplish I believe. Why
do you need
macros?

Quick Question regarding an error with editable regions

Hello,
I am a co-op student and I work with other students as well, on our large company website. I have always been considered the cheif coder, and nobody knew the wesite layout and file directory as well as me. However, something terrible has happened while somebody was updating some information on one of your HTML pages.
I logged in to Dreamweaver CS3 on afternoon to make a very simple text error change on our website. As soon as I hit "synchronize sitewide", it stated that there was no synchronization necessary, although I had already made a change. So then, on the template (.DWT) page, I thought I would backspace any character, and then retype it again in order for the "save" option to appear, so that I could save the template, and have it update all HTML pages, as well as the page that had just said "no synchronization necessary". I thought that I had to update the template first, which was strange, as I never had to do this before.
When I clicked update, the error message that I got was that I have placed an editable region inside of a block tag. I checked the HTML pages as well as our template (.DWT) pages, and indeed, the "Page Header" was embedded in a <h1></h1> pair. The pair appears black and delete-able in the template files, and grey in the HTML files, which is expected. However, I have been working at this institution for four months, and I recall that the <h1> tag pair had always been there since I remember. (How badly did this other person mess up?! =S)
I tried to delete it from the .DWT file (the small editable region, and the <h1> tags), and now, what happens is that if I try to save a template so it updates all other HTML pages before synchronization, the template simply does not update anything, and I get no message whatsoever after clicking Save.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for coping with these many details. I simply want to be able to update HTML pages again, because my boss really needs it, and I have never had such a problem before (having made much larger changes to this same website in the past)
Thanks again,
Mr. V

How many child pages are you supporting with this DWT? Hopefully less than 50 pages.
Is your code valid? HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org
Can you post a link to your DWT page, or copy and paste your code here?

Spry tool tip does not work in template or child pages within an editable region. Why not?

Ok. so I am getting pretty frustrated. I take the time to learn how to use CSS and to create a template page for a Contractor Site (www.ContractorInsurance.net). The idea is to create a page that I can use for different classes of Contractors...right?
Then I get all happy about being able to insert ToolTip onto pages to help the user. Great!
LIfe to turn to Sorrow after nearly five hours of searching for a "eeking" answer.
So what good does it do to have an Editable region to update if we cannot have the flexibility to insert a tool tip on child pages? Ok so the fast solution is to what... Have a question mark image, insert another apDiv, name it toolTip_Not and provide it with a show=hide behavior?
RRRRRrrr...
This really sucks not being able to find a solution within a reasonable amount of time.

I have tried thank you. However...it is still not working.

The error message is "Making this change would require code that is locked by a template translator"

If you have a look at the following simple document with a tooltipTooltip trigger goes here.
Tooltip content goes here.
you will notice that a couple of lines have been placed in the HEAD section of the document. When using DW templates, the HEAD section is usually not editable, hence the error mesaage. By default, your template should have an editable region in it just before the closing tag. It looks like this:  Dreamweaver should be able to find that editable region and insert the
<script> tag there automatically. Because you don't have an editable region like that in the <head>, open the master template, and paste the code above just before the closing </head>
tag. Gramps

Nested regions best practice regarding inheritance of editable regions.

Have a template page, http://www.satgraphics.com/templates/main_01.dwt in which I have an area labeled "div#main_wrapper".
When attempting to make it an "editable" region, I received the following comment: "The selection already contains or overlaps with an editable, repeating, or optional region".
I had already made the "header" and "column_left" regions editable, but as the "column_left" is nested within the wrapper, my question would be; Would the correct process be to un-do the "column_left" editable region, make the "div#main_wrapper" editable, and be able to edit the "column_left" area as an inherited editable area?
When I did try to do so to the "main_wrapper" div, I did not get the identifier label (blue text block at top left of each area) and received the warning as mentioned previously.
Thank You...

I did attempt to specify the "main_wrapper" div, but did so after already creating the "column_left" div region as editable, (nested in the "wrapper") and that is when I received the error message.
As an aside, the site is fairly simple, so I am using a single template in which I do make content changes to header, column_left, and hopefully within the wrapper itself) for each new page, thus intentionally wanting editable region in content of "wrapper".
The "footer" and "menu" are the two areas in which I did not open up for change; the "menu" is a library item, so any changes are made from there.
So, question now becomes that of getting the "main_wrapper" div editable and how can that be done without the aforementioned message?

Thank You for your help.

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!
Bob

Template editable region not working

I am using DW2004. I have a template with a number of editable regions. One region is causing me problems. When I apply the template to a page, the BeginEditable and EndEditable tags become editable themselves. Trying to save the page causes errors about saving changes to regions that cannot be edited.
The template has this editable region:
    

<div id="MainText">
      <div align="left">

        Main Text

    </div>
</div>
MainText is a CSS style
#MainText{float:right; width:565px; margin: 0 0 0 0; background-color:#ffffff;}
In the document after the template is applied, I get the following.
    

<div id="MainText">
<div align="left">

<table width="329" border="0" cellpadding="10">
Problem is the  can be changed. If I do a return after the "-->" the tag is no longer able to be changed. Same with the end editable tag. As soon as I go back to Design view, the code changes to become editable again.
At the moment I have around 150 screwed up pages after running a template update. Can anyone help?

<p> <span class="style15"><a href="pa.htm"><img src="images/pa_general/pa_advt_2.gif" alt="Get Organised with Project Administirator Software" width="250" height="150" border="0" align="right"></a></span>As a Project Manager, it is inevitable you will have to carry out project interviews. They might range from interviewing a candidate for a project team role, to interviewing a Sponsor about their expectations on a project. Rarely are people given training on interviews. It is just expected that like breathing, it comes naturally. </p>
<p>Nothing could be further from the truth. Interviewing is a technique, and as such it needs to be taught. Some people are naturals and some struggle. If you doubt there is skill involved, turn on your TV and watch a professional interviewer on a current affairs type program. In this article, we attempt to cover a few of the basics that will make you a better interviewer.</p>

<h2>My Experiences</h2>
<p>Many years ago I took over a role as Marketing Manager in a financial services organisation. The week I arrived, it became evident that the company had a big hole in their investment portfolio and investors were about to loose lots of money. If I had known before, I might not have taken the job. I was to suddenly have to face the media and break the news. I had never thought much about being interviewed in the past but suddenly it became a significant concern. </p>
<p>The company called in a specialist who would prepare me over a number of days to handle interviews. In our first mock interview he had me blabbering nonsense in about a minute. We then went back to basics and he spent a week teaching me about interviewing techniques. By the end of the week I was confident to face the media and get my message across in a way that did not cause a run on the institution, and gave investors confidence that if they stayed with the organisation, within a year their losses would be recouped. In fact the majority did stay, and they did get their money back.</p>
<p>While I was on the other side of the fence (the interviewee), I also had to learn more about interviewing than I ever expected there was to know. Here is a simple thing I was taught in the first hour or so. You can see it on TV every night. Invade personal space. </p>
<p>A reporter on TV who is standing beside a person being interviewed has to stand close so they both fit on the screen. Typically this involves being within less than half a metre (about a foot) from the person. You can use this to your advantage with someone who has not had the benefit of media training to make them feel uncomfortable. </p>
<p>Try it on a colleague. Ask them an awkward question while standing up close to them. You can see them squirm. Ask the same question across the room, and they may show mild discomfort but nothing like the level when you are up close to them. Also see what happens when the reporter is trying to make the person comfortable. They move further away. In fact they may want to make them relax by putting some space between them before getting up close and personal for the killer questions.</p>

<h2>Open and Closed Interviews</h2>
<p>Interviews can be either “Open” or “Closed”. Usually interviews are a mixture of both. We will cover how each type of interview is carried out, and the pros and cons of “Open” versus “Closed”. Managing an Interview around “Open” and “Closed” questions is a key skill of the interviewer.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Definition - Open and Closed Questions</h2>
<p>An open interview is one where questions are not specific. They are open ended and designed to allow the person to cover a broad range of topics. As an example</p>
<p>“Tell me about sales?” is an open question.</p>
<p>“What were sales for your territory last month?” is a closed question.</p>
<p>The first question may take half an hour to answer. The second will probably take less than a minute.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Why use Open Questions</h2>
<p>It all depends on what you already know and what you need to know. If you are absolutely confident you are fully briefed on a topic, and there is only one fact you need to determine, a closed question is preferable. On the other hand, if your knowledge is sketchy, and you are not even sure what questions to ask, an open question is the way to go.</p>
<p>If your washing machine is broken and the repair man tells you the water pump is not working, you are unlikely to ask him is it the shaft is worn, impeller is split or motor burnt out? That would be a closed question and we probably don’t have the knowledge to ask it anyway (Incidentally I did make that up. I have no idea what else could break). We would ask an open question such as asking him to explain further. At that point he might explain it is the impeller broken because some coins got through the filter and jammed in the pump. You can then follow up with a more closed question about what that means to the repair and your wallet.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Essence of Open Questions</h2>
<p>The essence of open interview technique is - </p>
<ul>
    <li>Question move from the general to the specific and back to the general</li>
    <li>Much is deduced from listening and probing. A simple comment may indicate an important area to be explored</li>
    <li>There are often unforeseen topics raised. Some are relevant and some may not be relevant. You need to filter and quickly dismiss the ones that are not relevant</li>
</ul>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Tips for Open Questions</h2>
<p>Here are a number of tips for asking open questions</p>
<ul>
    <li>Think if the person can answer “yes” or “no”. If the answer is they can, it is not an open question</li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li>If the person provides a wandering answer, or a ‘brain dump’ offer a summary of the question - let the interviewees confirm its accuracy. <br>
“If I understand what you are saying…” </li>
    <li>Allow ample opportunity for ‘and also’ issues to be raised at the end of the interview or afterwards. People answering open questions tend to remember facts as they go along.</li>
</ul>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Closed Interviews</h2>
<p>In using the opposite interview technique, closed interviews, you might ask </p>
<p>“For reporting of sales, I suppose the current breakdown by nation, state and category is OK, isn’t it?” </p>
<p>The question presumes and prompts a yes/no answer. It also offers a quick and easy interview, requiring minimum reflection and analysis.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font> </p>
<h2>Why Closed Questions</h2>
<p>As mentioned, closed interviews are useful when you are trying to find out one fact. You know precisely the question to ask and know the possible answers. They are also useful in clarifying facts in an open interview. As people cover topics broadly, you might grab one point and want to understand it more clearly. You want to drill down on a particular aspect. </p>
<p>For example, you asked a question on how effective current sales reports are. The person is giving you a full briefing on all the reports, and the implications. They mention the sales summary report. You might ask a closed question about who receives the report and why they are provided with a copy.</p>
<p>Closed questions allow you to drill down on a piece of information. It is more likely that closed questions will be more spontaneous than open questions. As the open question draws out the big picture, you want to closely examine bits of the picture with closed questions.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>On the Spot</h2>
<p>Closed questions can put people on the spot. They can almost sound like they were fired by the prosecutor in a trial. </p>
<p>“When did you first know the project was behind schedule?”</p>
<p>“How many resources can you give up to the project?”</p>
<p>The result is the same as in a trial. The person becomes defensive. They try to find a way out of any admission or commitment. A better approach is to use an open question that allows people room to manoeuvre or qualify their answer. You can tighten up the response with closed questions based around the answer.</p>
<p>“How did you first come to suspect the project may not be on track?”</p>
<p>“If we need people to assist, how would you be able to help?”</p>
<p>In both cases, an open ended question allows the person to answer without feeling threatened or ambushed. You avoid the instinctive “flight or fight”.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Information Gathering</h2>
<p>An interview is an information gathering exercise. That means that you, as the interviewer, are there to direct and listen. You know your own views. The interviewee does not necessarily need to know those views. While you are talking, you are not listening and the purpose of an interview is to find out information from the interviewee. Your role is to keep the ball rolling down the road.</p>
<p>There is an old saying that when carrying out an interview, you should “speak with your ears”. In other words, if you say something it should only be because you want to hear the answer.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Making people comfortable</h2>
<p>A technique used by television interviews is to ask a number of easy questions to relax the person before hitting them with the big one. </p>
<p>“So your name is Jim Brown? Lived here long Jim? Married with 2 kids I hear?”</p>
<p>Then</p>
<p>“So tell us about killing your mother in law with a chain saw.”</p>
<p>Use the relaxing questions to start your interview. If the person is at all apprehensive at the start of an interview, a few questions to loosen them up will help later in the discussion. </p>
<p>Imaging you are being interviewed and you are feeling a little nervous or unsure about the area under discussion. You might not even know exactly why you are being interviewed. If the person starts by explaining the purpose of the interview then asks a few easily answered questions, you start to relax and will become more likely to assist the person.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Follow the dots</h2>
<p>An agenda is a great tool, in most circumstances. If you are having a regular review meeting and have a range of regular topics to cover, an agenda is a great roadmap. Point 1; point2; point 3.</p>
<p>If on the other hand it is an open discussion, an agenda may be an impediment. The interviewee may want to talk about point 1 and 7 because he sees them as related. The discussion is roaming around the topic, and it might not fit into neat compartments. </p>
<p>In this case use the agenda as a checklist. It does not have to be strictly followed. It can be a list of topics you want to have covered by the end of the interview. As the interview draws to a close, go over the agenda and see if any points still need discussion. It takes some skill to treat an agenda as a set of boundaries rather than a roadmap. If you can develop those skills, the results can be excellent.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Summarising</h2>
<p>Sometimes people lose the thread of what they are saying. Their mind is wandering down a path and they forget where they have been or are going. It is useful to sometimes stop and summarise what you think has been said. It is double purposed. Firstly it confirms what has been said, and secondly it re-focuses the person.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Active Listening</h2>
<p>It is a fact that most people want to be listened to. It is important to feel that the person is mentally still with us as we speak. The occasional nod of the head or confirmation of a point helps people feel their comments are valued. Be sure to respond to people or they will stop contributing and want to terminate the interview. Writing things down will assist in convincing people their input is of value.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Answer the Question</h2>
<p>Watch a politician answer a question, and you will often find they don’t answer the question. Techniques include:</p>
<ul>
    <li>“That is a good point but before I answer that let me say…” and of course they never get back to the question</li>
    <li>“I want to make three points…” none of which are relevant to the question</li>
    <li>“Why would you ask me that?” In other words, let’s argue about whether you should ask the question rather than try and answer it.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you cannot get an answer to a question, try to understand why the person is uncomfortable to provide an answer. It may just be that they forgot the original question and went off on a different track. On the other hand they may well have something they don’t want to tell you. Sometimes understanding the reason for not answering in fact answers the question.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Body Language</h2>
<p>Very few people can hide body language. You do not have to be an expert to read it as we all do to some extent. The eyes looking around the room for an answer; folded arms in a defensive position; legs crossed towards you for trust and away for mistrust. There are many articles on body language and a bit of research can help you read what is not being said.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Independent Interviewer</h2>
<p>As a consultant I have been amazed some times at what people have told me. Even though it might not be attributed to them in a report, people often say things to an outsider they would never say to their peers.</p>
<p>I remember one project review where the project manager was scathing in his remarks about the steering committee. He had never expressed his thoughts to them but told me. On investigation I had to agree with his comments and put it in the report. One of the steering committee members came up to me afterwards and asked me why the project manager never expressed his concerns to the committee?</p>
<p> Sometimes it is useful to use an outside party for interviews as they are usually seen as coming to the situation without a bias. If not independent, they are usually viewed as not coming to support any entrenched point of view. In fact, from a consultant credibility point of view, it does you no good to go into an organisation to reinforce a particular person’s case if you do not believe it to be valid. I usually tell people in that situation that I do investigation, not lobbying. </p>
<p>Several years ago I did a PIR for a company and managed to upset the executive management team by pointing out their lack of support and the failures that followed. Although I had done considerable work for the organisation I was not invited back to do any more work for a couple of years. When I was invited back, I found most of the people I had been critical of had moved on. I was invited back because the person who now wanted work done was impressed with my fairness and impartiality from years before. He had remembered me and now needed the same sort of review done without someone pushing a particular point of view. What goes around comes around.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p><font color="#006666" face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica"><a href="pa.htm"><img src="images/pa_general/pa_advert.gif" alt="project management software" width="250" height="100" border="0" align="left"></a></font>It is surprising how many people think an interview is just a fireside chat. The dynamics are far more complex. Think about your own interviewing technique and use some of these ideas to improve it. It is particularly important for your career path as you sometimes have to interview senior managers. The interview is often the only real exposure you have for them to form an opinion of you. If a promotion comes up and you have just bungled your way through a poor interview with a senior manager, your chances of getting a promotion are low. On the other hand if you have managed to direct the interview in a manner that impressed the manager, your chances are enhanced.</p>

Problem with editing Editable Region - HELP!

My website is www.yucholian.com
I have created a template and have assigned a main body to be
an Editable Region. However, I can't seem to use different fonts,
sizes or styles as I wish. If I go to Text drop down, go to size,
all options are greyed out. Can anyone help?
BTW, I'm using 30 day trial.
I find Dreamweaver to be very finicky. Even something simple
as applying a template that I created, view doesn't update, showing
doubles...
Thanks in advance.

The more you know about HTML, the less you will run into such
things - but I
have to say, I have no idea what you are describing here. It
sounds to me
like user error, but I can't say for sure.
> However, I can't seem to use different fonts, sizes or

Show me your template, tell me what you are trying to change,
and I'll
explain to you what is happening.

This might be a simple question. On those sites that do not differentiate between models when on the internet I.e. Facebook when after your comment and you cannot hit "enter" on an iPad for examp. And speed is slow to connect. What is = to post?

This might be a simple question. On those sites that do not differentiate between CRT, laptop, tablet etc. such as an iPad Mini and using the Facebook site fir example when going to post a comment and you do not have a enter button on the IPad and the speed is slow how do you get your comments to post if we do not have a enter button?

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!

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.

Load Balancing Directory Servers with Access Manager - Simple questions

Hi.
We are in the process of configuring 2 Access Manager instances (servers) accessing the same logical LDAP repository (comprising physically of two Directory Servers working together with Multi-Master Replication configured and tested) For doing this, we are following guide number 819-6258.
The guide uses BigIP load balancer for load balancing the directory servers. However, we intend to use Directory Proxy Server. Since we faced some (unresolved) issues last time that we used DPS, there are some simple questions that I would be very grateful to have answers to:
1. The guide, in section 3.2.10 (To configure Access Manager 1 with the Directory Server load balancer), talks about making changes at 4 places, and replacing the existing entry (hostname and port) with the load balancer's hostname and port (assuming that the load balancer has already been configured). It says that changes need not be made on Access Manager 2 since the LDAPs are in replication, and hence changes will be replicated at all places. However, the guide also states that changes have to be made in two files, namely AMConfig.properties, and the serverconfig.xml file. But these changes will not be reflected on Access Manager 2, since these files are local on each machine.
Question 1. Do changes have to be made in AMConfig.properties and serverconfig.xml files on the other machine hosting Access Manager 2?
Question 2: What is the purpose of putting these values here? Specifically, what is achieved by specifying the Directory server host and port in AMConfig.properties, as well as in serverconfig.xml?
Question 3. In the HTTP console, there is the option of specifying multiple primary LDAP servers, as well as multiple secondary LDAP servers. What is the purpose of these? Are secondary servers attempted when none of the list in the primary list are accessible? Also, if there are multiple entries in the primary server list, are they accessed in a round robin fashion (hereby providing rudimentary load balancing), or are other servers accessed only when the one mentioned first is not reachable etc.?
2. Since I do not have a load balancer setup yet, I tried the following deviation to the above, which, according to me, should have worked. If viewed in the HTTP console, LDAP / Membership / MSISDN and Policy configuration all pointed to the DS on host 1. When I changed all these to point to the directory server on host 2 (and made AMConfig.properties and serverconfig.xml on host 1 point to DS of host 2 as well), things should have worked fine, but apparently Access manager 1 could not be started. Error from Webserver:
[14/Aug/2006:04:30:36] info (13937): WEB0100: Loading web module in virtual server [https-machine_1_FQDN] at [search]

[14/Aug/2006:04:31:48] warning (13937): CORE3283: stderr: ... 2 more
In effect, AM on 1 did not start. On rolling back the changes, things again worked like previously.
Will be really grateful for any help / insight / experience on dealing with the above.
Thanks!

Update to the above, incase anyone is reading:
We setup a similar setup in Windows, and it worked. Here is a detailed account of what was done:
1. Host 1: Start installer, install automatically, chose Directory server, Directory Administration server, Directory Proxy server, Web server, Access Manager.
All installed, and worked fine. (AMConfig.properties, serverconfig.xml, and the info in LDAP service, all pointed to HOST1:389)
2. Host 2: Start installer, install automatically, chose Directory server, Directory Administration server, Directory Proxy server, Web server, Access Manager.
All installed, and worked fine. (AMConfig.properties, serverconfig.xml, and the info in LDAP service, all pointed to HOST2:389)
3. Host 1: Started replication. Set to Master
4. Host 2: Started replication. Set to Master
5. Host 1: Setup replication agreement to Host 2
6. Host 2: Setup replication agreement to Host 1
7. Initiated the remote replica from Host 1 ----> Host 2
Note that since default installation uses abc.....xyz as the encryption key, setting this to same was not an issue.
9. Started webserver for Host 1 and logged into AM as amadmin.
10. Added Host 2 FQDN in DNS Aliases / Realms
11. Added http://HOST2_FQDN:80 in the Platform server (instance) list.
12. Started Host 2 webserver. Logged in AM on Host 2, things worked fine.
At this stage, note the following:
a) Host 1:
AMConfig.properties file has
com.iplanet.am.directory.host=host1_FQDN
and
com.iplanet.am.directory.port=389
serverconfig.xml has:
<Server name="Server1" host="host1_FQDN" port="389" type="SIMPLE" />
b) Host 2:
AMConfig.properties file has
com.iplanet.am.directory.host=host2_FQDN
and
com.iplanet.am.directory.port=389
serverconfig.xml has:
<Server name="Server1" host="host2_FQDN" port="389" type="SIMPLE" />
c) If one logs into AM, and checks LDAP servers for LDAP / Policy Configuration / Membership etc services, they all contain Host2_FQDN:389 (which makes sense, since replica 2 was initialized from 1)
Returning back to the configuations:
13. On Host 1, login into the Admin server console of the Directory server. Navigate to the DPS, and confgure the following:
a) Network Group
b) LDAP servers
c) Load Balancing
d) Change Group
e) Action on-bind
f) Allow all actions (permit modification / deletion etc.).
g) any other configuations required - Am willing to give detailed steps if someone needs them to help me / themselves! :)
So now, we have DPS configured and running on Host1:489, and distributing load to DS1 and DS2 on a 50:50 basis.
14. Now, log into AM on Host 1, and instead of Host1_fqdn:389 (for DS) in the following places, specify Host1_fqdn:489 (for the DPS)--
LDAP Authentication
MSISDN server
Membership Service
Policy configuation.
Verified that this propagated to the Policy Configuration service and the LDAP authentication service that are already registered with the default organization.
15. Log out of AM. Following the documentation, modify directory.host and directory.port in AMConfig.properties to point to Host 1_FQDN and 489 respectively. Make this change in AMConfig.properties of both Host 1 as well as 2.
16. Edit serverconfig.xml on both hosts, and instead of they pointing to their local directory servers, point both to host1_FQDN:489
17. When you start the webserver, it will refuse to start. Will spew errors such as:

Success!
The server https-host1_FQDN has started up.
The server infact, didn't start up (nothing even listening on 58080).
However, if AMConfig.properties is left as it originally was, and only serverconfig.xml files were changed as mentioned above, web servers started fine, and things worked all okay. (Alright, except for some glitches when viewed in /amconsole. If /amserver/console is accessed, all is good. Can this mean that all is still not well? I am not sure).
So far so good. Now comes the sad part. When the same is done on Solaris 9, things dont work. You continue to get the above error, OR the following error, and the web server will refuse to start:
Differences in Solaris and Windows are as follows:
1. Windows hosts have 1 IP and hostname. Solaris hosts have 3 IPs and hostnames (for DS, DPS, and webserver).
No other difference from an architectural perspective.
Any help / insight on why the above is not working (and why the hell does the documentation seem so sketchy / insecure / incorrect).
Thanks a bunch!

Compilations are breaking my heart-simple question...

OK folks, this is a simple question - so why can't i find a clear answer anywhere? I am running Itunes 8, Win XP, been running Itunes for my music for about 4 years.
Current setup 3 users running Itunes on same pC.
My problem is when I browse my lbrary each song in my compilations are showing upas different albums e.g. "O Brother where art thou" has 14 different "albums" as do some home-made compilations I have been given.
"group compilations when browsing is selected" but obviously isn;t working
It's obviously simple but not to me...help
Thanks

You mention enabling the iTunes option to *Group compilations when browsing*, but have you also set the *Part of a Compilation* flag to Yes for each track of your compilations? See my recent post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Need a simple answer for simple question???

simple question... what is the best way to export my fce movie and burn it on idvd for the best quality for genaral use ... sd..4x3 ratio tv.. lots of ken burn effects on photos... lots of sd video... ???
not so simple answer... i have read manuals.. apple discussions.. etc etc my eyes are blurry.. i have been exporting out of fce to qk time movie, then import to idvd and burn..
i get lots of wavy or jitter when doing kens burn effects on photos.. i have been told that 1 field must be missing.. and its better to take the qk time movie convert it again making sure hi quality is checked(movie properties 720 x 480) and self contained movie, then import to imovie ver 5.02 which has better codecs then to idvd ... an apple store tech said..
then another apple store tech said...dv pro or dv stream or interlaced or on and on and on
its not 16x9, or for the web or anything but simply burn it and give it to my grandma to play in a standard dvd player.. best quality.. period.. i know it won't any better than my source video but the wavy photos bother me..
help

The Apple store tech told you garbage. The quality will be the same. It's using the same QuickTime engine. There may be a difference because going through iMovie will go through a file conversion and the picture might be softened a little, which will mitigated this flicker you see.
The wavy photos can be a lot of things, most likely due to the nature of the images themselves and the movements you've done on them. What often works on still images is to apply a one pixel vertical motion blur in an application like Photoshop or Elements. This helps to reduce interlace flicker on motion when the material is brought into a video editing application.

Copying html contents to editable region

hi all,
is there an easy way to convert simple html files (with some text and images, nothing fancy) to editable regions of a template? I have one template with only one editable region and I want to apply this template to all files in that folder.
many thanks
alper

Create a new page from Template (child page).
In code view, copy and paste just the relevant markup from HTML file to Editable Region of child page.
Save As some-filename.html
Repeat with other files.
