Developers Cannot Change the Title of Pages

I have attached a Dynamic Web Template to some pages, and now I cannot change the title of the page. What's going on?

When FrontPage saves a page as a Dynamic Web Template, it adds an editable region called doctitle that encloses the <title> tag of the Web page. This is done so that you can edit the title of the page. However, in some cases the doctitle editable region is not created. In those situations, the <title> tag is in a non-editable region and cannot be changed.

To resolve this issue, change the <title> tag in the Dynamic Web Template from this

 <title>Page Title Here</title> 

To this

 <!-- #BeginEditable "doctitle" --> <title>Page Title Here</title> <!-- #EndEditable --> 

This adds a new editable region called doctitle that surrounds the <title> tag and allows developers to edit the title of the page.

Make sure that you make this change in the Dynamic Web Template file and not the Web page to which the Dynamic Web Template is attached.

Cannot Modify an Editable Region Because It's Locked

I am trying to add a table to an editable region, and I'm being told that FrontPage will not accept my change because the code is locked by a Dynamic Web Template. Why is it doing that?

Certain edits are not allowed in an editable region, and inserting tables is one of them. You can change the size of text, whether the text is bold or italic, and the font, but you cannot perform any layout functions on that text (such as adding a table), and you can't apply any styles to that text.
