Re: Dreamweaver falsely says region not editable

That's interesting. We even tried it on someone else's machine, and they got
the same error. Here were our steps:

1. Page created from a template that had & quot; contained within it.
Let's call the page testpage.shtml
2. Closed testpage.shtml.
3. Did a "Find" on "source code" & quot; within folder (folder contains
testpage.shtml).
4. Clicked on the result from testpage.shtml. Testpage.shtml opens.
5. Clicked on Split View.
6. Clicked in the code area, highlighted & quot; and deleted & quot;.
7. Replaced & quot; with a ".
8. Clicked in the design area.
9. Error message appeared.

That's the step-by-step version. We attempted to change the code directly,
rather than using the "Replace" function.

Thanks again for all your work!
Stevie

I have looked at this in some detail. There does seem to be some strange
behavior there.

Please try this. Close Dreamweaver. Restart Dreamweaver. Run your
replacement test.

Does it work?

I tried it this morning, and the same thing occurs--but only in pages
containing templates. Is that weird, or what? Regular pages (without templates)
work fine. Additionally, if I detach the template from the page, the error
message doesn't occur. It must have something to do with the code for templates.

:-) I submitted it as an issue, though not in as much detail as here. Do you
think the programmers will see it?

Stevie

You submitted it here?

http://www.macromedia.com/go/wish/

And you verified that it happens, even after a cold restart of DW?

It worked for me if I did it as soon as I restarted.

I didn't send it to that site--just to customer service/tech support. I can
verify that a cold restart of DW doesn't change anything. I've been working
with &amp; nbsp; here, too, and that also seems to be the issue. It must be the
encoded characters thing.

I'll submit to the site you sent now. Thanks for all your help!

Just for your information, here is a reply to your last post from Al Sparber
(I reposted it on the PVII forum) -

The latest crop of assistive readers handle &entities; just fine.
Dreamweaver inserts them because that's what the standards call for. As
accessibility becomes more fashionable (that is, when guru sites run out
of CSS and Standards topics) the reality will cause a maelstrom. The
question of whether to support older readers is equivalent to the
question of supporting version 3 browsers - that's how behind the times
last year's crop of readers were. It's sad.

Thanks much. I had our accessibility rep check too, and he found that & amp; &
lt; & gt; and & quot; were all supported by HTML 2.0, and thus figured they
were pretty safe. Thanks for clarifying, though. :-)

You're welcome!
