master/template page in dreamweaver

[colonel5]

back for some more advice. What is the best way to make a master/template page in dreamweaver? So that not only to be able to make pages off of that, but that any updates i make to the master/template change every other page i've created off the original. Sorry if this is such a basic question, but like my boss just told me "we hired you for graphic design and marketing, not to be a web master..."

thanx

I don't know anything about dreamweaver, but you might be able to program it using CSS...

Normally, I would create a new site (site> new site)
in that site create new template and work on that page as you would like any other page and in the template you can place editable region which will allow you to update the content of individual pages. Once you are done designing the template you can save it as template file not htm or html.. dwt is the extension. Then create a new page and apply the template to it.

And everytime you change the template say adding a new link or something, when you save the template, it will ask you if you want to update the pages that are using the current template file

Another, more involved method, is using includes for the parts that repeat on each of the pages that you will be updating. Usually this is done with a server side scripting language such as ASP or PHP. This is more advanced, but wanted to make you aware of that for future.
