Topic: id tags inserted

Hi - your system seems to be putting in div tags even when I haven't requested them - as soon as it goes into edit mode when I upload the file again its put in loads of div tag numbers which makes my code more complex than I would want.

Is there a way of stopping this from happening? I'm not sure that I want to be using the choose editable region feature as am doing most of my coding in dreamweaver using specific div tags.

Re: id tags inserted

Hi Charles, the system requires each editable area to have unique IDs and because we offer the "click-to-define" edit areas feature we add IDs on available elements so you can easily click the area and make your site editable within minutes.

We've had a few comments about this and we're adding an option into your account settings to disable it. This means you will be required to add the edit class and ID attributes yourself.

We'll post back once the new feature is live.

Great thanks it would be good to have the choice as I don't really want my clients to have the ability to choose new editable regions. Will look forward to hearing from you on this.

Your clients will never be able to define new edit areas; only admins are able to do this. This is the case whether you choose 'click to define' or whether you assign edit areas using HTML.

Nice one, the way I prefer it as well.

Re: id tags inserted

We have updated the system further. The system will still add IDs to all elements while viewing the "Define edit areas" tab so that you can define editable areas but when you switch to the "Edit content" tab the system will remove all unused IDs that the system has added (it won't remove your IDs).

This makes the code cleaner and easier to read now.
