content after include isn't editable

message from kiggityca on 19 Jul 2004
hi,
i'm trying to edit a client's website. they've got includes for their top and
side content. when i open a page in dreamweaver, the design area shows the full
page but it won't let me edit anything. the code part has the include line but
then all of the content after the include is gone. if i open the page in
notepad i can see all the content. why doesn't it show up in dreamweaver? the
include file is only the top banner content. (i know that the include stuff
wouldn't show up in DW but the rest should, no?)

Sounds like whoever built the site didn't validate it and you have tons of
bad code in there. Most likely, the include contains a </body> tag or an
un-closed opening tag which makes the rest of the page invisible to DW and
better web browsers.

Does the include file also contain <html>, <head>, or <body> tags?

That's likely the problem if it does.
