Template linking problem
in [Dreamweaver]
|
From: YeonAh on 31 Mar 2010 12:34 Hi, I'm in the middle of redoing my personal website and I've linked all the main pages to a template file. Everything displays correctly in Dreamweaver, but when I preview any of the pages on an internet browser (Firefox, Safari and Opera all show the same problem), the template seems to have disappeared and my site reverts back to the default styling. Any idea what could have caused this? I suspect it's a linking problem, that the page isn't reading the template correctly, but I've already checked all the links and everything is linked correctly. And the fact that it displays correctly in Dreamweaver is confusing me. Please help me! -YeonAh

Is there another way to attach a template to the pages that might prove more effective? Thank you!

That seems Ok so there is something else going wrong. Can you describe the differences - even in general terms? -- Duncan K Downtown Dalgety Bay |
