I require to make a template, I am confussing myself as I dont know if what i am after can be done.

I want to make a main temp then a sub temp??.

Layout:- header with 3 columns

The main temp having a none editable regions on the left and header, then the sub temp having non-editable the left and header and right.

Main temp to change the entire site then sub temp to change sub sites.

I think what I am asking is can you make put a template within a template

Any help would be greatful

Are you on about a general template? or dreamweaver one?
This will require CSS, for the 3 column layout, http://www.pixy.cz/blogg/clanky/css-3col-layout/
more about css in this forum

I am working with dreamweaver, but due to it being on my works local network i can only use tables,

I know how to use css, as i use it at home.

What do you mean by general templates?

Can it be done?

What does the works network have to do with using bad code?
CSS works regardless of the network.

General template, I meant as though, if I were to make some design and fill it in with dummy code so that people could buy it and edit it to their needs.

Main
section 1:- 6 pages
section 2:- 6 pages

The changes that are done to the "main" are in the leftcolumn and header which needs to promagate down the entire site. (so these would be the non-editable regions as they change once a month).

Within the "sections" the rightcolumn needs to promgate down the sections part of the site. (so these would be the non-editable regions as they change once a month). The only editable region I require is the middlecolumn for content.

I hope this explains it some more!

Cheers Dan

well if you use css,
the left column would be
float: left;
right would be:
float: right;

have a look at my blog:
http://78.32.29.193
has a three column layout (two are navs but you can change the size easily)

I have tried it several times, as when i upload the pages on to webapp the web site goes crazy.. I have been told not to upload css again.

inline css or external?
if you're going to use tables then,
you won't get much support here as not many of us use them.

Check your css link and if it is in your css folder, you have to create a css folder in the web server too... It is not the web server that don't support css, it probably your link to the css file.

This can be achieved by using ASP includes. One file that is included in every page. this means you only have one file to update, and it will chnage on all the pages in the site. You will need a seperate include for the header, the left column, and the right column. Do a little googling and you shoul dbe able to find what you need.

If not post back and I will see if I can help.

Or PHP

See -Using includes to add common elements to your sites.

I have attemped to load .css did not work this is due to the people above me, they have control over the <head> </head>. they fill that space then I have control of whats below the <head> </head>.

I am I right to say that you can only put .css links internal and external into the <head>

Dan

karinne · #13 Sep 26th, 2007, 15:26

Yes ... CSS goes in the <head> whether external or internal

Weird that they wouldn't even at least just add the link to it?

R8515198 · #14 Sep 26th, 2007, 15:46

Please could someone close this thread, as I am going to the corner to cry now as I am stuck with these damn tables.

Cant upload anything other than .html

Joy!!

Cheers for all the help again
