Template Nightmare/Frustration - Any suggestions?

| macromedia.com 2004-02-27, 5:28 pm |
| Hello,
I have one template for a site. No recordsets are attaced to the template.
I placed two SSI tags above the head tag. When I saved the template,
updating the files, all of the associated pages lost their recordsets.
Can anyone tell me what I"m doing wrong here? BTW, it's 94 pages. All
dynamic with different filters applied to the recordsets.
John

That's pretty mangled.
You have no doctype. You have an editable region called head *outside* of
the <head> region.
In addition, your body tag is in an include. And I'm wondering if you have
<html>, <head>, or <body> tags in and of these -
<!--#include file="../includes/menuhead.htm" -->
<!--#include file="../Connections/conn_aoi.asp" -->
<!--#include file="../includes/referrer.asp" -->
You have no closing </body> tag.
I guess it's no wonder that strange things are happening. Is it possible to
address any of that?

| Murray,
Yeah, this is a rather bizarre template...
I have fixed the doctype, and moved the "head" editable region inside the
head.
Additionally, added the closing body tag. That's rather interresting, as
when I initially created the template it was throwing a duplicate body tag
error on the page, even though there are NO closing body tags in any of the
includes. So, as such I removed it from the template file.
Am I wrong in understanding that any includes that I place in the template
regardless of where they are should end up in each page that has this
template applied?
If I add any include to the top of the .dwt file, they do not get updated to
the individual pages. Doesn't make sense to me.
Thanks for bringing to my attention the errors you saw.
John

I suspect the thing that is pushing DW over the edge is the body tag in the
include. That's just not a good thing to do if you want to use DW to edit
your pages.
