Hi,

I want to have an editable region inside the <body> tag so that some
pages can use onload commands. How can I do this?

Thanks,
Misha

Select the body tag on the TagSelector, and then use MODIFY | Templates >
Make Attribute Editable. You will now have the opportunity to select any
existing attribute in that <body> tag (or add any new ones), and specify a
variable name which will be used by DMX for that attribute's value.

Try it....

I don't understand how it works. What I want to do is have:

<body>
content
</body>

But on one page have:

<body onload...>
content
</body>

basically i want
<body <-- begin editable region --><end edtible region --> >

I'm not sure how to get that with the "make attribute editable"

You do it just the way I explained. Check the F1 Help on Editable
attributes, too.

By the way, you are *not* inserting an editable region in the body tag when
you do this....

When I select modify --> templates --> make attribute editable for
<body> tag, I get a window that says:

"Choose which attributes of this BODY tag should be editable."

I don't have any attributes in the body tag. I want to insert an
attribute only for certain pages.

So, just to see what happens I "add an attribute," call it "onload" and
label it "onloadcontent."

This creates the lines:

<body onload="@@(onloadcontent)@@">
in my template.

It creates the lines:

<body onload="">
in my template.

This is a problem. I don't want the onload="" in pages which do not use
an onload.

It doesn't matter that this is there. What you have described is the
correct way to do it.

So having <body onload=""> is fine?

Then on the page where I want the onload to occur I enter:


?

Unfortunately, the body tag on that page still says:
<body onload="">
and the pop-up window doesn't pop-up.

What am I missing?

It's OK. It would be better if there were a dummy js function that it
called by default, but it's OK.

On the child page where you want something to happen, you use MODIFY |
Template Properties, select the Parameter and make that change. Then when
you click OK, It'll be there.
