dreamweaver locks out the ability to edit the editable portion of the document

Report · Jul 05, 2007

I created the template, the editable section of the document, and then I used it to create a new file. Now for some reason when I paste data into the editable section of the document I have this error message that destroys my changes whether I choose yes or no.

quote:

You have made changes to code that is not marked as editable. If you retain those changes, they will be lost the next time you apply a template update to this file. Do you want to retain the changes until then?

Can anyone advise me as to what is going on with DW8.

It is causing me way to much grief!

thank you

This is a generic error message that DW throws anytime it finds errors
ANYWHERE on the page when working with templates. Does the template page
validate? If you save the template with a new name, remove any CSS from the
template page, spawn a new child from this degraded template, and make the
same changes, do you still get the message?

I hate to do this but I can't think of any other way to do it.
Can I ask one of you to paste my code into your DW8 to see if you
have the same error?
Enclosed is my file, all 400 plus lines.
You can ignore all of it except the form/table part down around lines 308 and 309.
In my version of DW8 the </td></tr> tags are in black font denoting an error
However, there are no errors and the problem didn't exist until I put the
php tag in there. Is there something I can do to resolve this problem?

insight appreciated
thank you
Kevin

Do what I suggested you do, please.

Does the page validate?

==================

I did as you suggested and the error is persistent.
I tried removing the offending row containing the php tag
<?php if(isset($_SESSION['SES_nameErr'])) { $name = $_SESSION['SES_nameErr']; echo $name;} ?>
And the error trickeled down to the next row containing the php tag <?php if(isset())
The closing tags are there they are just highlighted in a different color.

Strange behavior

insight appreciated
thank you

Just wanted to let you know that I have resolved the problem.
I did a complete page redesign and some how it resolved all the problems that I was having. I took all of my php stuck it in the head of the page and ran a simple if else to decide when to decide to display my form.

All is working great ;-)

thank you for your time and effort.
God Bless
