Rollover problems -

While attempting to add a rollover feature to our site the following message appears "Making the change would require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded." I have reviewed the code and the templat but must be missing something. The rollover is in an area that is opened for editing so according to what I have read should allow me to place the rollover in the location. Any thoughts on this?...please. |

That error messag is likely being triggered by errors elsewhere in your code, and as a result is a red herring of sorts. Can you post a link to the child page and tell me what you were changing? -- Murray --- ICQ 71997575 Team Macromedia Volunteer for Dreamweaver (If you *MUST* email me, don't LAUGH when you do so!) ================== http://www.dreamweavermx-templates.com - Template Triage! http://www.projectseven.com/go - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.dwfaq.com - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.macromedia.com/support/search/ - Macromedia (MM) Technotes ================== "MGnut" <webforumsuser (AT) macromedia (DOT) com> wrote in message news:cmubc6$j4q$1 (AT) forums (DOT) macromedia.com...

Dreamweaver's rollover code is usually inserted in the <head></head> tag, which would reside in the template and would therefore not be editable, even though the rollover effect is being added in an editable region. The rollover code has to insert the new image to preload in the body tag, which is usually not an editable region in a template. This is just a guess...but I've run into this before with other client's templates. It's one reason I use server side includes rather than Dreamweaver templates. -- David Young Senior Web Designer CFWebmasters.com david (AT) cfwebmasters (DOT) com "Murray *TMM*" <forums (AT) HAHAgreat-web-sights (DOT) com> wrote in message news:cmubi4$j8l$1 (AT) forums (DOT) macromedia.com...

The preload in the body tag is not essential for the rollover. I doubt that this is what is happening, David. DMX2004 has no trouble adding behavior javascript to template child pages. -- Murray --- ICQ 71997575 Team Macromedia Volunteer for Dreamweaver (If you *MUST* email me, don't LAUGH when you do so!) ================== http://www.dreamweavermx-templates.com - Template Triage! http://www.projectseven.com/go - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.dwfaq.com - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.macromedia.com/support/search/ - Macromedia (MM) Technotes ================== "David Young" <david (AT) cfwebmasters (DOT) com> wrote in message news:cmudvu$l8c$1 (AT) forums (DOT) macromedia.com...

Just double-checked that, and you are correct. That no longer seems to be a problem in MX2004. It did add the preload to the body tag, but only on the current page, it didn't try to add it to the template. -- David Young Senior Web Designer CFWebmasters.com david (AT) cfwebmasters (DOT) com "Murray *TMM*" <forums (AT) HAHAgreat-web-sights (DOT) com> wrote in message news:cmue98$ljf$1 (AT) forums (DOT) macromedia.com...
