There is an issue with respect to typing conventions used in this book.

This has been positioned at the top of the listing in the hopes that it will be one of the first items read. The book uses some non-standard typographical conventions.

The exercise for Sharing Snippets (exercise 1.2) can be problematic when you can't locate the referenced folders - folder and file doesn't exist on your system.

NOTE: This is a feature of Windows O/S, where by default, there are system hidden and read-only files and folders. To be able to locate the proper folders, you have to turn off these hidden files and folders using Windows Explorer.
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Select Tools > Folder Options.
3. Select the View Tab
4. Click the radio button beside Show hidden files and folders.
5. Click the OK button
You should now be able to see the required files and folders to continue on with the exercises in Chapter 1.

The note in the middle of step 6 gives the impression as you continue that the TemplateEndMultipleIf must also be inserted into the inserted snippet which would give you two closing region tags and that will cause an error.

Hopefully for Second Edition printing, the note will be moved down to the end of Step 6 and the beginning of step 7. In the meantime, please consider this when performing step 6. "The above error clause must immediately precede the closing of the multiple if statement, whose closing code is shown as <!-- TemplateEndMultipleIf --> and was written by the snippet. If the error clause is NOT immediately before the close, move either your new and revised code or the multiple close statement."

Steps 2 and 3 will generate errors on your page.

Step 2: Open the file HCTNestedFAQs.dwt and let's get started creating our complex template. First, we must set the page name to set the navigation links by selecting Modify > Template Properties, choose the page_name parameter and change the value from Home to FAQs. Next, select all the content in the editable region named Content and delete it (ensure that you also delete the <p>&nbsp;</p> that remains, using code view, after you delete the content). We will not be using any of it for this template.

Step 3. Leaving your cursor in the editable region named Content, insert an editable optional region using Insert > Template Objects > Editable Optional Region. In the dialog that opens, replace the name displayed (OptionalRegion1) with OptionBase and click the OK button.

You know from Chapter 4 that this inserts a Boolean parameter in the head, an optional region in the body, and an editable region inside the optional region. Unfortunately, the dialog does not offer you a method of naming the editable region, so it is added to the page as EditRegion2 (the name of your region may differ slightly). We will rename this to BaseContent in step 4 below.

221

Step 7. The first sentence gives the impression that the cursor is still in the editable region named BaseContent or the optional region named OptionBase.

Step 7. Position your cursor in the editable region named BaseContent and selecting the tag named <mmtinstance:editable> in the tag selector, pressing the right arrow once and then press the return key. This will give you a new blank line inside the Content editable region but outside the editable optional region that you were just working with. Switch to code view and type the following: ..
