Locked template in Dreamweaver MX

[Bananas524]

I've been seeing a couple messages related to the same thing, but I haven't been able to find a working solution. Upon creating a Dreamweaver MX template and an editable region, I open a new template to insert content. As soon as I change whatever content is in the editable region (using code view) and try to preview, I get the following message:

"Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator. This change will be discarded."

The thing is, I am inserting the code in the editable region...this I'm making sure of. There must be something with the page, but where to begin?

TIA,

Well, there were two steps to get around this. First, I got the DMX 6.1 update, which makes you able to edit locked regions (after a prompt). Second, I converted the whole document to XHTML. I don't know exactly why this helped, but I can't complain...it works fine now.

That message can happen if for example you are trying to add a table cell within the main page Table. To add the cell it would need to modify the whole table.

If you had more information on type of area you are trying to edit and surrounding code it might help.

Also, if there is a <p>, <div>, or another tage half in half out of the editable region this can happen. (usually caused by hand editing of code).
