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 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.
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.
Repeating regions as seen in an editable InContext Editing browser window. The lower region is selected and can be duplicated again, deleted,
or moved up and down.
In addition to adding repeating regions based on the original region, you can also give the user the option to delete regions,
add completely new regions (not based on the content of the original region), and to move the regions up or down.
When you create a repeating region, Dreamweaver wraps it in another container called a repeating regions group. This
container—a
div tag with the ice:repeatinggroup attribute added to the opening tag—acts as the container for all
of the editable repeating regions that a user might add to the group. You cannot move repeating regions outside of
their repeating regions group containers. Additionally, you should not manually add repeating regions group tags to
your page. Dreamweaver adds them for you automatically when necessary.
