Re: Dreamweaver falsely says region not editable

message from Stevie_R on 19 Jul 2004

I think it's a bug....but here's the code in its entirety (BTW, this only
happens when you are trying to change a special character like " or
). Do a "Find" for code like that, open a page (that's a template) and
try to change it. You get the error message. If you leave the file closed and
do a "replace," it's okay. However, there are times (today was one) that you
need to really change the code yourself.

Thanks in advance!

<h3>"Other" Strategy Terminology</h3>
<p>Other terminology that is used in strategy that is similar to the
Wernerfelt (1984)
and Barney (1991) discussion of the resource-based view of the firm is
"dominant
logic" by Prahalad & Bettis (1986). This paradigm revolves around the
notion that diversification strategies required various kinds of
organizational attributes. Diversification
and performance are linked and revolve around four principles--one of which
is that strategically similar businesses can be managed using a dominant
general management logic. In other words, we could say that there is a
prevalent type of management for strategically similar businesses.</p>

Etc., etc. More text here, but it's all just paragraphs and bullets--I'll send
if you really need it, though.

Is it possible that any of these includes contains <html>, <head>, or <body>
tags?

Also, what are you trying to replace in this page?

Murray *TMM* replied to Stevie_R on 19 Jul 2004

OK - I'm taking a look now.

Murray *TMM* replied to Stevie_R on 19 Jul 2004

I opened a template.

I added this line at the bottom -

"this is a quote".

The code produced was this -

"this is a quote"

I did a find for """ and replaced it with the actual quote character.

I had no problem. I got no error message.

1. Page created from a template that had & quot; contained within it.
Let's call the page testpage.shtml
2. Closed testpage.shtml.
3. Did a "Find" on "source code" & quot; within folder (folder contains
testpage.shtml).
4. Clicked on the result from testpage.shtml. Testpage.shtml opens.
5. Clicked on Split View.
6. Clicked in the code area, highlighted & quot; and deleted & quot;.
7. Replaced & quot; with a ".
8. Clicked in the design area.
9. Error message appeared.

That's the step-by-step version. We attempted to change the code directly,
rather than using the "Replace" function.

Thanks again for all your work!
Stevie

I have looked at this in some detail. There does seem to be some strange
behavior there.

Please try this. Close Dreamweaver. Restart Dreamweaver. Run your
replacement test.

Does it work?

Murray *TMM* replied to Murray *TMM* on 20 Jul 2004

You submitted it here?

And you verified that it happens, even after a cold restart of DW?

It worked for me if I did it as soon as I restarted.
