2 Choose Insert > InContext Editing > Create Repeating Region.
3 Your options vary, depending on your selection.
• If you selected a transformable tag, Dreamweaver transforms the tag into a repeating region without any further
steps.
• If you’re inserting a new, blank repeating region, do one of the following:
• Select Insert New Repeating Region at the Current Insertion Point and click OK.
• Select Transform the Parent Tag Into a Repeating Region if you want Dreamweaver to make the parent tag of
the selection the container element for the region. Only certain HTML tags are transformable: a, abbr,
acronym, address, b, big, blockquote, center, cite, code, dd, dfn, dir, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6,
hr, i, img, ins, kbd, label, li, menu, ol, p, pre, q, s, samp, small, span, strike, strong, sub, sup, table, tbody, tr, tt,
u, ul, and var.
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 repeating region, click OK in the Create Repeating Region dialog box.
Dreamweaver wraps the template repeating region with a div tag that acts as a container for the new InContext
Editing repeating region.
• If you selected other content that you want to make repeatable, 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 a repeating region. The div tag with which Dreamweaver wraps the
content acts as the container for the repeating region.
• Select Transform the Parent Tag Into a Repeating Region if you want Dreamweaver to make the parent tag of
the selection the container element for the repeating region. Only certain HTML tags are transformable: a,
abbr, acronym, address, b, big, blockquote, center, cite, code, dd, dfn, dir, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4,
h5, h6, hr, i, img, ins, kbd, label, li, menu, ol, p, pre, q, s, samp, small, span, strike, strong, sub, sup, table, tbody,
tr, tt, u, ul, and var.
4 In Design view, click the blue tab of the repeating region to select it if it’s not already selected. Notice that
Dreamweaver actually forces you to select the tab for the repeating regions group. This is because all repeating
regions exist within a repeating regions group, and you must set options for repeating regions by setting options for
the entire group.
5 Select or deselect options in the Repeating Regions Group Property inspector. Two options are available: Reorder
and Add/Remove. When you select Reorder, users will be able to move repeating regions up or down when editing
in a browser. When you select Add/Remove, users will be able to add or remove repeating regions when editing in
a browser. Both options are selected by default, and you must always have at least one of them selected.
6 Save the page.
If this is the first time you’re 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.
Delete a region
It’s best to delete a region by using the region’s Property inspector. Using the region’s Property inspector ensures that
you delete all of the code associated with the region.
1 Select an editable region, a repeating region, or a repeating regions group.
