New pages made From Template messed up!

OK, I have put it up unzipped!

http://www.cambodiakids.org/Template02.dwt.asp

And thanks for the tip about file/pathnames and not using anything but
letters, numbers, and hyphens/underscores. I am going to have to change the
name of my hard disk again! I would rather be on the safe side!

I am really glad I asked your assistance for this... These things I guess are
really quite important. Unfortunately, I don't have a good grounding in web
development...

Yes, the image you mentioned is the correct one. It shows up fine in the
template but not when I make a page using the method you recommend. When I save
the page, all the other links change to the appropriate path, but that one ends
up as : background-image:
url(file:///D200/Users/andrews/Documents/DreamweaverWebsites/Cambodia
Kids/Images/BackgroundImages/Girl_softsmile_bg.jpg);
}

As for the ASP thing, I really don't know how I managed to get that to happen!
Every time I make a new page, I get that suffix at the end and have to change
it to .html. I checked in the preferences and could not see anything
appropriate to adjust. Could you suggest what I might do?

Also, I have already made a couple of pages from ASP templates, that I have
changed the suffix to .html, should I scrap those pages and redo them from the
beginning(once I get this ASP thing worked out, that is)?

As for the UTF-8, I was/am under the impression that it can be used for
Japanese... Till now I have not seen or had problems/complaints regarding the
text within the site or some of the other Japanese sites I have made... Again,
I would appreciate any recommendations...

Thank you!

I have worked out the ASP thing... That happened because when I chose the
template instead of choosing HTML template I chose ASP Javascript template.

I checked the differences between the two formats and have eliminated the
<%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%> code from the top of the page and
change the template suffix to .html. I trust this is all that I need to do to
set this ASP thing right.

I just tested things out and it appears that fixing the ASP template has now
fixed the background image problem!

So my only outstanding question is about UTF-8 and Japanese, which I will
repeat here for your convenience...

The template suffix MUST be *.dwt not *.html.

Glad you sorted your other issues. As Murray mentions, an HTML template
should simply end it .dwt. So Template02.dwt.asp should be renamed to
Template02.dwt. As you noted, the only difference in a new page is the
scripting language declaration at the top of the file.

Actually, Japanese characters are not included in the UTF-8 character
set. There are two different Japanese character sets: SHIFT_JIS and
EUC-JP. You can read more about character sets at
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/charset.html
