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.
2 In the region’s Property inspector, click the Remove Region button.
Specify CSS classes for formatting
The InContext Editing Manage Available CSS Classes feature has been deprecated as of Dreamweaver CS5.
InContext Editing Error messages
Cannot apply InContext Editing to tags containing script tags or server-side block(s) of code
If your selection contains server-side code, Dreamweaver does not allow you to transform it into an editable or
repeating region. This issue has to do with how InContext Editing saves editable pages when the user is working in the
browser. When a user saves the page after editing, InContext Editing removes server-side code from the region.
Current selection cannot be transformed or wrapped with a DIV tag because the parent node doesn't allow
DIV as child tag
When the selection you want to transform on your page can’t be transformed directly, Dreamweaver needs to wrap
the selection with
div tags that will act as the container for your new editable or repeating region. For this reason, the
parent tags of what you want to transform must allow
div tags as children. If the parent tag of the tag you’re trying to
transform doesn’t permit child
div tags, Dreamweaver will not allow you to perform the transformation.
Current selection already contains or is inside of an Editable Region. Nested Editable Regions are not
allowed.
If your selection is inside an editable region, or if there is an editable region within the selection, Dreamweaver does
not allow you to perform the transformation. InContext Editing does not support nested editable regions.
