Hi

I'm creating my first template using DW MX. When I go to save a change after creating an Editable Region I get this message:

You have placed the editable region h2 inside a <p> tag or other block tag. Users of this template will not be able to create new paragraphs in this region. Move the region outside the <p> tag if you wish to allow this.

Any idea what this means and how I fix it?

Thanks for your help

Here's the code on my page:

First off post your code within [ code ] tags, it makes it much easier to troubleshoot.

Now, the problem

Code: 
<div id="masthead">
	<h1 id="siteName">
		<a href="../index.html">
			<img src="../images/logo2.jpg" alt="Home Page" width="167" height="60" border="0">
		</a>
	</h1>
	
	<div id="globalNav">
		
		<div align="center">
			<a href="#">About </a> | <a href="#">global link</a> | <a href="#">global link</a> | <a href="#">global link</a> |
<a href="#">global link</a> | <a href="#">Food </a> | <a href="#">Furniture </a>
		</div>
	</div>

	<h2 id="pageName">[COLOR=red]<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="h2" -->h2<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->[/color]</h2>
</div>

I'm not certain as it's a DW thing, but try putting the editable region tags around the <h2> tags rather than inside them.

So it looks like this

Code: 
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="h2" --><h2 id="pageName">h2</h2><!-- TemplateEndEditable -->

Not sure if that's the fix, but my quick squint at the code in that area didn't show up anything odd.

The only place I can see the offending line would be within the <h2> tags rather than <p> tags. The warning is telling you that people using the template will not be able to make other paragraphs (just one line edits or line breaks), because paragraphs within those tags are illegal. If you are ok with that, I suppose you can ignore the warning. Probably this question would be better asked in the Dreamweaver forums (if we have them).
