Hi Friends
I need help in templates of dreamweaver,i made one template
and applied it to text formated pages made by me by
using Modify>Templates>Apply templates to this page Command
Now i need to know what to do should i place template folder
too on the server or what?

as when i try to view the page with IE it doesn't show what i want
but when i try to view using preview in browser by f12 key i
works finely
Please tell me what to do,and how to do step by step

Regards

ok.
first thing
u dont need the template on the server.

second, what doesnt show properly.. the images?? layout??

aveyou created a site in dreamweaver..
dreamweaver has got the site functionalities where you can create multiple sites and work with them.

the templates and all work good and well whn you ave a site created and all the files are inside that.
otherwise the links will vary and this will affect ur site display.

let know

Respected Sir,
thanks for replying
the layout of the preview is exactly same as the template but the images are not showing up,also the style sheets which i applied are also not working.
So please help me.
this is my first website and I put lot of effort in that template and dont want to throw it .

i have placed website files in one folder say 1 and in 1 i have two more folders named assets for images and Templates wheree i built templates and stored style sheets

but when i try to preview the file in folder 1 directly by clicking it it doesnt show up images. and CSS

regards

ahh...

assets is a dreamweaver folder which has got the local site images, swf files etc..

that is not a generally good name to give when creating with dreamweaver.

rename the images folder to images.

and keep the css in a separate folder or with the html files.

if u keeping it with the templates, change the location of the css.

dont use dreamweaver inbuilt folder names for the site usage. they will work properly within it but outside, u may face problems..

also, when you preview the file in internet explorer, try and right click on the images and sselect properties and see the path it gives.

mostly it should be a wrongone, thats y they are not appearing.

if i am not wrong the image path should say /assets/ which will work properly on the server and in dreamweaver but will not work on the local internet explorer cos tat path asks the ie to look into C:/assets/

so instead opt for ../assets/imagename.gif

this should work.

the same thing should apply for css.

if its ok, send me the url link or the source of the html file and then i can tell you much better
