Dreamweaver templates are one of the program’s most powerful features. Templates allow you to control and update the appearance of an entire site. They are one of the features covered in detail on our Dreamweaver training courses. This article looks at how to set up, apply and modify templates. Templates facilitate site management by allowing you to modify and update several pages at once. A template is a web document (HTML, ASP, ASP.NET, etc. ) which contains a combination of locked elements and editable regions. When creating a new document, if you opt to base it on a template, the page will inherit all of the elements which the template contains. You individualise the page by modifying the content of the editable areas. If you later modify the template, all of the pages which are based on it can be automatically updated.

Adobe Dreamweaver contains a large array of floating palettes called panels. Some of these contain options that are duplicated both in the main and context menus or which can be accessed with keyboard shortcuts. You will therefore find that you do not need to keep all of Dreamweaver’s panels open.

When working in Dreamweaver, you alternate between two main views of your web pages: files and document. The Files panel gives you an overview of the entire site and work with the entire site structure. It shows listings of the files in your local root folder and on your server. When you open any document, by contrast, you work on one HTML page at a time, adding and modifying content as necessary.

Web pages consist of textual markup and are therefore incapable of embedding images in the way that word processing documents can. Instead the page contains a reference to the image which enables the browser to locate and display the image when necessary. Images must be therefore be uploaded to the server along with the HTML pages. This can only take place properly if the images are located in Dreamweaver’s local root folder. Whenever you insert a graphic which is not located in the root folder of the active site, Dreamweaver displays a dialogue offering you the opportunity of saving this image in the current root folder. When this message appears, you should click the Yes button and save the image somewhere in the current root folder.
