Note: This second option is only available when the parent node meets the exact criteria for transformation. For
example, it must be one of the listed transformable tags, and it must not be subject to any of the errors listed in
InContext
Editing Error messages.
If you selected a Dreamweaver template editable region, click OK in the Create Editable Region dialog box.
Dreamweaver wraps the template editable region with a div tag that acts as a container for the new InContext
Editing editable region.
If you selected other content that you want to make editable, do one of the following:
Select Wrap Current Selection With a DIV Tag and Then Transform It if you want to wrap whatever you selected
with a div tag and turn it into an editable region. The div tag with which Dreamweaver wraps the content acts as
the container for the editable region.
Note: Adding div tags to pages might alter page rendering and the effects of CSS rules. For example, if you have a CSS
rule that applies a red border around div tags, you would see a red border around your current selection when
Dreamweaver wraps it with a div tag and transforms it. If you want to avoid this type of conflict, you can rewrite the
CSS rules that affect the current selection, or you can undo the transformation (Edit > Undo), and then select and
transform a supported tag that Dreamweaver doesn’t need to wrap with a div tag.
Select Transform the Parent Tag Into an Editable Region if you want Dreamweaver to make the parent tag of the
selection the container element for the editable region. Only certain HTML tags are transformable: div, th, and
td.
4 In Design view, click the blue tab of the editable region to select it if its not already selected.
Note: If you are working in a Dreamweaver template, be sure to select the InContext Editing editable region (the
container region), and not the Dreamweaver template editable region.
5 Select or deselect options in the Editable Regions Property inspector. The options you select will be available to a
user when they edit the contents of the editable region in a browser. For example, if you select the Bold option, the
user will be able to make text bold; if you select the Numbered List and Bulleted List option, the user will be able to
create numbered and bulleted lists; if you select the Link option, the user will be able to create links; and so on. Hover
over the icon of each option to see a tooltip of what the option enables.
6 Save the page.
If this is the first time youre adding InContext Editing functionality to a page, Dreamweaver informs you that it is
adding InContext Editing supporting files to your site: ice.conf.js, ice.js, and ide.html. Be sure to upload these files
to the server when you upload your page, otherwise InContext Editing functionality will not work in a browser.
Create an InContext Editing repeating region
An InContext Editing repeating region is a pair of HTML tags that includes the ice:repeating attribute in the opening
tag. The repeating region defines an area on the page that a user can “repeat” and add content to when editing in a
browser. For example, if you have a heading and a paragraph of text that follows it, you can transform these elements
into a repeating region that a user can then duplicate on a page.
