    Default Design View Appearing Blank

    Hello All:
    I apologize that my first post is a question. I have searched and cannot seem
    to find an answer to this. I am a new Dreamweaver user but have been handcoding
    for ~7 years. I am self taught with Dreamweaver so I may very well have done
    something wrong.

    I created a template and everything worked fine in design view and otherwise
    until I transfered said template to another computer. On that other computer
    (and now on this one), my template simple shows the background color (grey)
    instead of the rest of the page. Oddly, when I put text in design view, it
    places it in the first editable region on the template, which is around the
    body tag. In Design view, it also shows up completely as an editable region
    even though there is a <!-- TemplateEndEditable --> there to end the editable
    region.

    When I open any of the pages in Firefox/IE5-6/Opera on various operating
    systems I have absolutely no problem viewing and navigating the site, and there
    are no javascript errors.

    Am I doing something wrong? I can provide a screen shot of both the working
    page and the non-working design view. My HTML is not validatable but that is
    not of concern at the moment.

    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Eric

    "Fixed" ... sort of.

    First, I apologize that I posted this in the dynamic HTML section, I missed
    the dynamic part for some reason.

    It seems that dreamweaver did not like having <body> be in an editable region.
    After removing that, I can now see the design in dreamweaver.

    You cannot place the body tag into an editable region using DW's UI. You
    can do it manually, of course, with the consequences you describe.

    If you want to edit the attributes of the body tag, there are several ways -
    what is it you are wanting to do?
