Assuming you've made it through the Assigning Regions step, you now
have your web page with all of its content in the body1 Editable
Region, which is the main "body" area of the design.Moving
Content Among Editable Regions
Depending on the layout of the DWT you have attached, you may
choose to move some of your content to other Editable Regions.
To achieve this, simply cut the content from one Editable Region,
paste to another, and save. Your content will not be lost on
subsequent applications of DWTs; it will simply appear in the the
location of the DWTIG compliant region name, or, you will select a
new region in which to place it in a DWTIG non-compliant DWT design.
Unused Editable Regions on Your Page
You may elect, as we have on this page, to not place any content
in the body2, body3, or special2 Editable Regions. This
certainly raises questions, which we will address here:
- Why have the region if you aren't going to use it? The
answer is simple. The beauty of the DWTIG compliant design
is the ability to attach *any* other DWTIG compliant DWT
to your page, and not have to go through the trouble of guessing
which content goes where in future attachments.
- What do the unused regions look like on my published page?
They don't show up. DWTIG compliant designs use comments
only, which are not visible in Preview mode or when published.
- How do I get rid of the comment to insert new content in an
unused Editable Region? Simply highlight it, hit delete,
then insert your content.
- Can I delete the unused Editable Regions? Yes, they
can be deleted on the actual .dwt file; however, if you delete
unused Editable Regions in a DWTIG compliant design, the DWT
will no longer be DWTIG compliant (see #1 above).
