what version of DW are you using?

just curious, why would you want to set the entire <body></body> as an editabal region? Usually you create a template so that there are some site wide standard areas of the page/directory, i.e. the nav scheme, a logo, header, footer, etc. If you use the entire body as an editabal region then those standard parts of the page could be inadvertently changed <added> when you only wanted to change one area for instance a table size, header area, or footer. </added>

I want that so I can write javascript in headers and also for ex. to write javascript to happen onLoad in the body tag.

You can't make the entire <head> an editable region in DW, nor can you make the <body> tag an editable region. However, DW MX2004 should automatically put an editable region inside your <head> tag. You can put javascript or other page-specific stuff in there.

Also, you can set your body tag to have an editable attribute -- such as onLoad -- that you can change on individual pages. For pages with no onLoad event, it will just become onLoad="" with an empty value.
