Locked code in an Editable Region!

dzirnite · dzirnite

I'm just learning Dreamweaver (graduating from Frontpage), and have run into a
problem. I've created a few documents based on a template I had created at the
outset. The template only has a top and left border that's locked, while the
rest of the body is supposed to be an editable region. As I was creating one of
the documents based on this template, I changed what was a couple of forms on
the page down to just one form. In doing this, Dreamweaver's HTML inspector
objected to a few of my tags in this document, including <pre>. Here's the main problem: any
attempt to fix this code is impossible because now, the entire document is
LOCKED due to this error.

If I detach this document from its template and manage to figure out and fix
the problematic code, can I then RE-ATTACH THE DOCUMENT TO THE TEMPLATE? (When
I did try detaching the document, the remaining code was grayed out and
uneditable!).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
:confused;

You really need to fix the template itself .. for one thing .. what is the
<pre> tag for? That makes it look like you are trying to preformat the
editable region .. this is not the way. Could you post your template code?

Thank you for replying, Nancy. Here is the code behind my template.

<title>Untitled Document</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

</tr>
</table>
<table width="833" height="1000" border="0">

This code looks normal (except for the editable region between <pre> and
</pre> (which is a little strange but shouldn't cause an error). Are you
saying that you can now no longer edit the template page in DW?

No, I'm saying that I can no longer edit a document that's attached to that
template. When I try via the display, I get the locked symbol; when I try via
the code, I get the pop-up window saying I can't make such changes because
"Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or
a translator. The change will be discarded." This applies to the whole
document, and the problem started when I reduced 3 forms in it down to 1 large
form (I have code set up so that when I submit the form, fields throughout the
page must be included). Why doing that would cause my whole page to be locked
is beyond me. Please help!
