child of template not available to SSI

This is a strange one: I have a child page of a template with ten editable
regions in ten table cells. I am trying to use SSI to bring that child page
into a div layer on my main webpage. When I try this the SSI is considered a
comment by Dreamweaver.

I took out the editable regions and made my template a straight HTML file and
it includes fine, so it must be the fact that I'm trying to include a child of
a template. But I'd like to learn why this is.

Thanks!

can you give url address to examples of both so the code can be seen?

SSI is to include snips of html, not entire html documents.
Including a full "page" in another page means the final page will have
multiple body tags and so on.

I stripped out all excess code so it's not a true HTML page per se. I don't
have it online but the code begins with:



Then it's just a table (2x5) with editable regions in each cell and images and
text in each region.

And then the closing of the template instance:

You just cannot do this.

An include containing template markup will not be processed properly either
by DW's template engine, or by its creation of temp files for preview.

I would call that a bug, no?

No, I'd call it by design, really. There is no provision in DW's UI for
creating a page fragment with Template markup.

It may not be in the UI, but it can be done with the code so it's possible.
It's not that big of a deal?I can remove the template markup?but it might be
something DW can consider supporting in the future.

Thanks!

Jeremy:

I can't think of a really good use for it to tell you the truth. A
Server-side include would work best either completely inside or completely
outside a template region, not spanning them.

But you can make your suggestion here -
