This advice is not working for me. I have the same issue: make a second pane editable by the user, but am not getting the "Manage" hover menu over the second pane.
I'm understanding this thread to say: If you're creating content panes with div elements (yes), then wrap your div in another new div (to make dnn happy), and insert these two attr/value pairs: runat="server" class="ContentPane", as well as unique ids.
Not sure whether the attr/value pairs go into the new wrapper div or the original div, but I tried each.
This is my div that I want to become editable:
<div id="leftsidebar" class="LeftSidebarPane">
<div id="contactinfo" class="contactinfo">
<p>My contact info</p>
</div>
</div>
but can't get it to work with either (1) a wrapper div like this
<div id="leftsidebarwrapper" runat="server" class="ContentPane">
(2) or with runat="server" and class="ContentPane" in the original div, with a vanilla div wrapper outside.
(I need to keep class="LeftSidebarPane" and class="contactinfo".)
Please advise.
