[WEB4LIB] Dreamweaver4 problem

[Thomas Bennett]

Just some basic info:

Look at the source code for the template to make sure the title is an
editable region.
Example:

<!-- #BeginEditable "doctitle" -->
<title>name of Template here</title>
<meta name="description" content="">
<!-- #EndEditable -->

When you save the template make sure you use Save As Template not Save As
with just a .dwt extension.  Saving as a template should make the title an
editable region.  When creating an html page be sure to use New From
Template not opening the template then editing that file and doing a Save
As.

This works for me in DW4 typing in the Title bar.

Hello,

I hope this question is not too specific for this list.

Has anyone else had a problem with the title element when used with a
template in Dreamweaver 4? One should be able to give individual titles to
the pages, but in my version I am unable to change this page property for
individual  pages.  Anything I type in the title bar is ignored.

Would it make a difference that the template I am using was created by
altering another template i.e. a template based on another template?
Possible corruption somewhere along the line?

Any practical advice most gratefully received.
Thanks,
yvonne
