Contribute Repeating Region Glitches

[dd06]

I'm having a problem with Contribute Repeating Regions that I've not found
dicussed/documented anywhere. This is NOT the problem documented
[url]http://www.macromedia.com/support/contribute/ts/documents/repeat_region.htm[/url].

I've added the code below. Now, here's the problem. The MUI works perfectly
in DW8. No issue whatsoever. In Contribute 3.1, the MUI appears, but is only
partially functional.

- The + button only shifts the cursor focus between editable regions within
the repeating region.
- The - button deletes a repeated section properly.
- The up arrow shifts the focus to the previos repeated section
- The down arrow shifts focus to the next repeated section

The HTML and CSS are valid. The structure is hybrid table/CSS, with a single
table for main structure (header, sidebar, content), and semantic markup with
DIV containers for everything else. This IS a nested template situation.

Is Contribute really this difficult to work with?


<!-- TemplateBeginRepeat name="Content Section" -->
<div class="contentSection-container">
<h3 class="contentSection-title"><!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="Section
Title" -->Section Title<!-- TemplateEndEditable --></h3>
<div class="contentSection-text">
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="Section Text" -->
Section text goes here.
<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
</div>
</div>
<!-- TemplateEndRepeat -->

Bump. Anyone having similar problems even?

The problems you are describing seem fairly serious. I would describe the topic
as "repeatable regions are broken". Surely if they were broken there would be
other people with this problem?

I have experimented with repeatable regions, and they have allways worked fine
for me, albeit with some rendering issues.

Are you certain that your issues are not a perception issue (ie: you're
repeating your default regions, so they all look the same and it only APPEARS
to be shifting focus instead of creating new regions?)

Thanks for the reply, \/\/ebbie.

Surely if they were broken there would be other people with this problem?

I'd think so. Our company uses DW Templates almost to their breaking limit,
often with 5 or more nested template generation. We've come across issues in
the past that have been seemingly non-existant. Until we found it.

Are you certain that your issues are not a perception issue...

Yes. Guaranteed. This has been tested every which way... The problem is
either a bug, or an enormous oversight on our part.

My thoughts are that Contribute's sub-par CSS rendering capabilities are
playing a hand in this...

Yeah, I got the exact some problem.
