adding layers to a template-based page

When I try to add a layer to a page which was based on a template, I get an
error: "Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a
template or a translator. The change will be discarded." This is occuring in an
editable region, so I'm stumped. Thanks!

Show me the code on the template page, please.

By the way, attachments are discouraged for this and other Macromedia
forums, and to make matters worse, they do not carry forward from the
webforums into the NNTP forums, which is where most of the people who post
answers are visiting. If you want to broadcast your code so that everyone
can see it, the only real way is a) to paste it into a reply (not great if
there is lots of code), or b) to upload it somewhere and post a URI to it.

Be aware that if you paste voluminous quantities of code into a reply, the
code may get truncated when transferring to the NNTP forum. This can be
quite confusing to both poster, and reader. The best bet would be to upload
the page and post a URI.

Murray,

I copied the template (along with three linked images) to our website:

http://www.ccc24k.com/Templates/ccctemplate.dwt

None of the menu links will work but this is the template I'm using. Is this
all you need?
Thanks

Change this -

</map>
</body>
</html>

to this -

</map>
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="layerPad" --><!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
</body>
</html>

and save the template. When you want to insert a layer on a child page,
click in this editable region first (you can do this in Code view), and use
INSERT | Layout Objects > Layer....

Murray,

Been on the road for a few days -- I'm gonna try out the code you suggested. Thanks very much for your help.

You're welcome!
