@Ellie: "In this website that has been created and edited by multiple programs, 
starting and finishing with DW, I am asked to change the content in what 
are documents created from a template with editable regions. I do not 
seem to be able to edit the text in the editable region, and wonder why 
not. Link is <url> . The person who was adding 
the text before was simply changing it in Front Page which took no note 
of editable regions. It also added outdated code, or at least did not do 
nice coding!
I can edit the page by hand coding, but would prefer to respect the 
editable regions here if possible.
How do I do it? There is a 'no-go' sign up when I try to place my cursor 
in these regions."

When I go in and edit in the editable region, the whole page formatting

What a mess.

Sheesh.  You do need a subcontractor to fix these pages!  I'm available.
Open the page in Notepad/Homesite, and make the following changes -
Change this -
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
to this -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"<url>
<html><! InstanceBegin template="/Templates/main_nscc.dwt"
codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" >
and this -
   <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
to this *YAY!* -
(that's a big fat null, by the way)
and this -
   <title>NSDCC What's New</title>
<! InstanceBegin template="/Templates/main_nscc.dwt"
codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" >
to this -
<! InstanceBeginEditable name="doctitle" >
   <title>NSDCC What's New</title>
<! InstanceEndEditable >
and this -
body {
 background: #FFFDF5 url('../assets/bg_f.jpg') repeat-x;
to this -
body {
 background-image: #FFFDF5 url('../assets/bg_f.jpg') repeat-x;
(didn't we do this yesterday?)
Then get rid of all those friggin' Library items.
Save the file.  Now you will be able to open it in DW.

    @Ellie: "Unfortunately I have to do this without the aid of a sub-contractor! 
Except whatever assistance you are kind enough to offer.
I tried all that, Murray. When I change those things, the page 
background disappears, though if I add this:
body { /*common*/
	background-image: url('assets/bg_f.jpg');
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	background-color:  #FFFDF5;}
that works better.
On the other hand, changing those things (without, at this stage 
removing the library items for a reason I will explain next) loses the 
formatting of the page completely. The content is all over the place.
What I am doing is going through this site page by page and trying to 
get the major errors corrected. Today new content needs to be added to 
the what's new page and to two or three others. I did not want the 
content added by those who were messing it up in the first place, so 
just asked them to send me those text changes so that I could insert it 
and just update the page while I am working. Otherwise they take the 
code from Eudora (where they composed it!!!) and paste into Front Page 
as they have been doing in the past.
If I get rid of the library items today (a 'feature' of the Park Avenue 
Sites by Project 7 team) then I will have to sit and rebuild all the 
menues etc., things I don't have time to do now. This can be done later.
Is there any way to change the text on this page without throwing all 
the formatting out of the window just long enough to get the new content 
up today?
Thanks,
Ellie"
    @forums: "Ellie:
The reason you are losing your background image is simple.  The path to the
image is wrong.  That's all you would need to change.
You say this works -
background-image: url('assets/bg_f.jpg');
and this doesn't -
 background: #FFFDF5 url('../assets/bg_f.jpg') repeat-x;
See what I mean?
The only possible impact of the other changes I recommended would be to take
your browser out of quirks mode, and put it into loose mode (this is a good
thing).  Other than that I made no suggestions that could possibly affect
page layout.  If you are seeing things fall apart in loose mode and not in
quirks mode, then you should talk to the PVII people about that (notice how
deftly I have passed that buck?)....

    @Ellie: "I just discovered one of the reasons that this is so strange is that the

I am getting rid of the library items, Murray, I am. Just making the 
SSI. Thanks for the kick in the pants!

That would certainly make the whole page uneditable.
