My advice, when you do Editing in the code template, you should not use the Internet Explorer browser, especially Internet Explorer 6, use another browser like Fire Fox or Opera. For those who did not have the Fire Fox browser can be downloaded for free here! and to the Opera can be downloaded here!, I do not use Internet Explorer? This is my personal experience when editing often find an error message when using IE, the browser and if wear another error message does not appear (the editing process success), and I have read in many forums that bloggers reported this issue and the bloggers themselves to recommend while using a browser other than IE (sorry forget to note the address of the link it).

</b:if>
