Default Template trouble - 02-21-2005 , 07:37 PM






I am updating a website I designed some time ago. In the template, I used
the Dreamweaver menu generator tool to make sub-menus for the navigation.
The updates I'm doing caused me to need to change the menus, so I did that.
When I finished modifying the template, I said "yes" to updating all related
pages, and synchronized the site.
Here's the weird part: On some of the pages that use the template, I can
see that the code has changed to reflect the menu updates. But, the page is
not displaying the new menu. On other pages, the update did not occur.
What could be going on?

It's hard to say. What happens when you recreate the site cache, open one
of those pages, and use MODIFY | Templates > Update Current page....

Also, which menu generator did you use?

Tried it. Didn't do anything. I really don't understand why the code on
same pages is updated, but others aren't, and none of the pages run using
the modified template.

OK, I'm feeling really brain dead. It's been a while since I've done any
web work. I used the pop-up menu tool in Dreamweaver, but now I can't find
how you get to it. It's the one that just asks you to fill in the text, and
you pick the background and text colors.

Once you put one of those pop-up menus on a template page, you cannot edit
it. How you were able to do so escapes me.

Why not show me the template so I can get a feel for what you are working
with?
