Template and dreamweaver help...

[mike77]

Currently with my site when I want to update something on all pages I have to make the change to the template in dreamweaver and then search all pages that use that template and let dreamweaver update the code and then reupload the pages....

Is it possible to have 1 template uploaded and have all pages that use that template just point to it, so when I want to make a change, all I have to do is change that 1 template file and it will take effect to all pages. This way I dont have to reupload. I would load pages quicker I would assume.

Dont think so, unless you use php. For example have a php file called page_layout.php and have two functions (or more) in it top_page (HTML for top bar), bottom_page (HTML for bottom bar). Then include page_layout.php in each of your pages and call both functions. Then you would only have to make changes to the two functions top_page and bottom_page. You can have other functions as well, e.g. side_bar or what ever ou want.

Hope this makes sence!!
