editable areas in DW template
I am trying to make a page into a template in Dreamweaver.
I have a table with 1 row and 4 cells.
The first cell contains a which holds a css text navigation menu and this cell should not be editable.
I want the remaining 3 cells to be editable but in a way that I can implement colspan when I need to in the future.
I cannot see how I could select these 3 cells in a way that would give me that flexibility because selecting beyond the final tag (ie selecting the tag) will select the whole table and make Cell 1 editable too.
Here is the code I am working with.

Get the div out of the table and put in in another or use other ways (like CSS) to position it.

I think you can move around the editble regions once you've got them positioned. I'll go try that out. I have done that before, or just created the editable regions by hand.
It is a little odd to have a div with CSS navigation inside a table
Like trying to put a CD into an 8 track player

Okay, it didn't want to let me make three cells a template object automatically but it didn't have a problem with this:
<table width="730" border="0" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td width="150" valign="top">
<div id="button">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#"> </a></li>
<li><a href="#"> </a></li>
<li><a href="#"> </a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</td>
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="EditRegion1" -->
<td width="193" class="tdfirst"> </td>
<td width="193"class="tdsecond"> </td>
<td width="195" class="tdthird"> </td>
<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
</tr>
</table>
I tested it out and it seems to work okay, could even merge cells.
You were missing a " on the home link BTW.
