Modifying a template resulted in all child pages with repeating editable regions - Help !

Good morning,
I have recently been appointed to update a website designed in Dreamweaver by an employee who is no longer here. I have read books on the software and practiced an insane amount which permitted me to update child pages, links, documents etc... however:
I was asked to add a new button to an "non-editable" region of a template. Trying to do so resulted in a massive mess (with massive anxiety).
Even thou the new template had all the same text and editable regions, all my pages look completely different from the template itself. The editable regions appears 2-3 times in different locations ex: Header is showed on the bottom, top etc... and the Editable region titles (EditableRegion1 etc...) repeat themselves as well.
I really need help and not sure what to do, I have tried everything and I am only making it worse and worse. All I want/need is for all my html pages created with this template, match the template.
Please note that this site is local, not online.
Since I noticed on other threads that the code is needed; here it is:

/* Tips for Elastic layouts
1. Since the elastic layouts overall sizing is based on the user's default fonts size, they are more unpredictable. Used correctly, they are also more accessible for those that need larger fonts size since the line length remains proportionate.
2. Sizing of divs in this layout are based on the 100% font size in the body element. If you decrease the text size overall by using a font-size: 80% on the body element or the #container, remember that the entire layout will downsize proportionately. You may want to increase the widths of the various divs to compensate for this.
3. If font sizing is changed in differing amounts on each div instead of on the overall design (ie: #sidebar1 is given a 70% font size and #mainContent is given an 85% font size), this will proportionately change each of the divs overall size. You may want to adjust based on your final font sizing.
.twoColElsLtHdr #container {
width: 46em;  /* this width will create a container that will fit in an 800px browser window if text is left at browser default font sizes */
background: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
border: 30px none #C4C4C4;
text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */

.twoColElsLtHdr #header {
padding: 0 10px;  /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear beneath it. If an image is used in the #header instead of text, you may want to remove the padding. */
background-color: #FFF;
.twoColElsLtHdr #header h1 {
margin: 0; /* zeroing the margin of the last element in the #header div will avoid margin collapse - an unexplainable space between divs. If the div has a border around it, this is not necessary as that also avoids the margin collapse */
padding: 10px 0; /* using padding instead of margin will allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
/* Tips for sidebar1:
1. Be aware that if you set a font-size value on this div, the overall width of the div will be adjusted accordingly.
2. Since we are working in ems, it's best not to use padding on the sidebar itself. It will be added to the width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width.
3. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the ".twoColElsLtHdr #sidebar1 p" rule.
.twoColElsLtHdr #sidebar1 {
float: left;
width: 12em; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
padding: 15px 0; /* top and bottom padding create visual space within this div */
background-color: #066;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
border-top-width: thin;
border-top-style: none;

border-bottom-style: none;
border-left-style: none;
border-right-width: thin;
border-bottom-width: thin;
border-left-width: thin;
color: #FFF;
padding-left: 0px;
clear: left;
.twoColElsLtHdr #sidebar1 h3, .twoColElsLtHdr #sidebar1 p {
margin-left: 10px; /* the left and right margin should be given to every element that will be placed in the side columns */
margin-right: 10px;
background-color: #066;
text-decoration: inherit;
/* Tips for mainContent:
1. If you give this #mainContent div a font-size value different than the #sidebar1 div, the margins of the #mainContent div will be based on its font-size and the width of the #sidebar1 div will be based on its font-size. You may wish to adjust the values of these divs.
2. The space between the mainContent and sidebar1 is created with the left margin on the mainContent div.  No matter how much content the sidebar1 div contains, the column space will remain. You can remove this left margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the #sidebar1 space when the content in #sidebar1 ends.
3. To avoid float drop, you may need to test to determine the approximate maximum image/element size since this layout is based on the user's font sizing combined with the values you set. However, if the user has their browser font size set lower than normal, less space will be available in the #mainContent div than you may see on testing.
4. In the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This avoids several IE-specific bugs that may occur.
.twoColElsLtHdr #mainContent {
margin: 0 1.5em 0 13em; /* the right margin can be given in ems or pixels. It creates the space down the right side of the page. */

I am not suprised, the previous employee tried to recreate the English version of the site in another folder structure and did not change all links and was still using a template in the wrong location.
I think I created the mess by trying to modify the existing template's non-editable region in order to add a new button. When trying to update all the pages, the fiasco started.
Do you think the best option would be to create a new template in the correct folder structure and apply it? Would it fix the current pages or will I have to fix them all manualy on by one?
I understand it is difficult to deal with a newbie of my magnitude and thanks again.

  • Spry tool tip does not work in template or child pages within an editable region. Why not?

    Ok. so I am getting pretty frustrated. I take the time to learn how to use CSS and to create a template page for a Contractor Site (www.ContractorInsurance.net). The idea is to create a page that I can use for different classes of Contractors...right?
    Then I get all happy about being able to insert ToolTip onto pages to help the user. Great!
    LIfe to turn to Sorrow after nearly five hours of searching for a "eeking" answer.
    So what good does it do to have an Editable region to update if we cannot have the flexibility to insert a tool tip on child pages?  Ok so the fast solution is to what... Have a question mark image, insert another apDiv, name it toolTip_Not and provide it with a show=hide behavior?
    RRRRRrrr...
    This really sucks not being able to find a solution within a reasonable amount of time.

    I have tried thank you. However...it is still not working.

    If you have a look at the following simple document with a tooltipTooltip trigger goes here.
    Tooltip content goes here.
    you will notice that a couple of lines have been placed in the HEAD section of the document. When using DW templates, the HEAD section is usually not editable, hence the error mesaage. By default, your template should have an editable region in it just before the closing tag. It looks like this: <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="head" > <! TemplateEndEditable --> Dreamweaver should be able to find that editable region and insert the
    <script> tag there automatically. Because you don't have an editable region like that in the <head>, open the master template, and paste the code above just before the closing </head>

  • Template do not update child pages

    I really do not understand why this happens to me all the time.
    I had this problem when I was using windows/pc with previous version of dreamweaver many years ago.
    I had the same one, now that I am using mac and dreamweaver cs4.
    In the past, I created a template, with one editable region. Based on this template, I created many pages.
    For some time, everything worked ok, every change in editable region of template forced all child pages to reflect to this change too.
    Now, this do not happen anymore(once again as I said).
    I cannot understand why this happens. 118 files examined, 0 files updated. Why? What am I doing wrong? Is this a bug in dreamweaver that lasts for years?
    I 've done nothing to detach the pages from template, ever. Why it stoped the updating of child file?
    Can anybody please help me?

    You say "every change in editable region of template forced all child pages".  This is NEVER how DW has operated.  It's only changes to NON-EDITABLE regions that are propagated to child pages.  I suspect that this misunderstand is what is causing you trouble, but if not, read this -
    Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes not propagating from Template to child -
    1.  Rename the Templates folder
    2.  Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in the site other than root level
    3.  Move a template out of the Templates folder.
    4.  Make changes to an editable region of the Template (which will not propagate)
    5.  Assume that Template changes will be effected by just uploading the changed Template file to the server without also uploading the changed local files
    6.  Corrupt the site cache so that the link between Template and child page is broken
    7.  Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the Template, adding page specific content, and resaving the Template with an *.html extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if this is the case by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything like <!-- TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done).  If you *have done this*, then recreate the child pages (in DWCS3) using FILE | New > Page from Template, select the Template and click CREATE.
    The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced > Recreate Site Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing them.  Have you done any of those?
    Or, read this -

    Pages died today. Just downloaded the latest update 2 days ago. Last night shutting down my very new MacBook Pro Retina, Pages stopped shut down. Today Pages will not open, all my Pages docs cannot open. Help please! Anybody have a fix?

    You probably have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 in your Applications folder, will open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them. It can not open Pages '08 files.
    Pages '08/'09 in your Applications/iWork folder which can not open Pages 5 files.
    When you were shutting down you probably had an unsaved document open.
    You probably are opening the wrong versions of Pages to open the wrong document format.
    Pages 5 has had over 90+ features removed.
    Most users are going back to Pages 09 whilst Apple sorts this out.

  • Modifying a Template will not update the pages

    I have a template that is having problems to update all the
    pages built with the template. When I edit > save > Update

    log shows that it has updated 12 of 12 pages, BUT, when I check the
    pages, they won't have the changes made. Here are some things that
    I have being trying:
    1. When I created each page based on the template - In the
    new document log > page from template, I checked the option
    "update page when template changes"
    2. I tried changing the area that I edited (Menu Botons) to
    repeat region, then to editable region, and so on... But the
    problem persist.
    3. I chose modify > Templates > Apply Template to
    page.... and nothing.
    4. I re-read the DW Help, tutorials and watch the adobe

    If somebody can tell me what I might be doing wrong, I will
    appreciate your help

    Why are you using the gotoURL behavior on your menu images
    instead of an
    ordinary hyperlink? In other words, you have this -
    <img src="
    http://www.prueba.turocpr.com/images/boton_sa_sobreturoc.gif"
    name="sobre_turoc" width="195" height="24" vspace="2"
    id="Image6"
    onclick="MM_goToURL('parent','index.html');return
    document.MM_returnValue"
    onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image6','','images/boton_sa_sobreturoc2.gif',1)"
    onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" />
    and you should have this -
    <a href="index.html"
    onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image6','','images/boton_sa_sobreturoc2.gif',1)"
    onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()"><img
    src="
    http://www.prueba.turocpr.com/images/boton_sa_sobreturoc.gif"
    name="sobre_turoc" width="195" height="24" vspace="2"
    id="Image6" /></a>
    Anyhow, since you are using IMAGES for the menu buttons it
    complicates your
    solution a bit, but you can use this method -
    Put this in script tags in the head of the document -
    function P7_downImage() {
    var g7="<imagename>"
    var g7url="<pathname>"
    if ((g7=MM_findObj(g7))!=null) {g7.src=g7url;}
    and this on the <body> tag
    onload="P7_downImage()"
    Then on each page you would need to make two edits:
    Set g7 to the *name* of the button (not the file name but the
    HTML name -
    e.g., "productsbutt"), and g7url to the pathname to the
    button (e.g.,
    "images/nav/button3.gif"), and bada bing, bada boom!
    There is an excellent tutorial here -

  • CS5 templates not updating unless "child" pages are open.

    When I edit the template, the only way I can get Dreamweaver to update the pages is to open all the pages connected to the template. Any help would be appreciated.

    Sure. It's Dreamweaver MX Templates by Brad Halstead and myself - ISBN 0-7357-1319-7.  I spend quite a bit of time explaining nested templates.  Sadly, nowhere do I say you should avoid them.  But you should.
    There is a master template that controls top level navigation and then five child templates that give different left-side navigation based on which section of the site the user is in. You can see this in action at www.homerenergy.com.
    You should see how easy this is to do with server-side includes and a single template file.  It's the best of both worlds.
    You can see this in action at www.homerenergy.com.
    Yep.  http://validator.w3.org/unicorn/check?ucn_uri=http://www.homerenergy.com/&ucn_task=conform ance - even if you would leave the nested templates in place, you would sure want to fix those.
    The section-specific navigation is very easy to manage either with template conditionals or with server-side includes.  You can see this site - http://www.ent-sys.com - where I have done the section navigation on interior pages with template conditionals.
    However, your site is small, and simple.  Nested templates can work OK in such circumstances.  But I have never seen a use of nested templates that couldn't be done more simply with some other approach.

  • CS4 DW Mac Templates FAIL to update child pages

    I duplicated a site, cleaned the cache. I moved the
    duplicated site to a new
    server. Uploaded all the files. I had one nested template
    which failed to
    update its child pages, so I detached it from the enclosing
    template.
    The child pages still have the link to the template
    <!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/whiteHome.dwt"
    codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    But when I update the template, the child pages are not seen
    as connected
    and do not update. I'm at a loss here....
    Never seen this behavior in CS3.

  • Modifying Login Template results in invalid login

    Apex 3.1 on 11g using oracle http server
    If I modify the login page template template so that the login page has the same look and feel as the rest of my application, the result is that the user cannot logon.
    It appears to pass the incorrect password to the login process.
    If I go back to the original page template I can log in successfully.
    (I have even tried hardcoding the password). When I look at the authentication log, it says invalid password,
    even though the correct password was definitely used.
    I have some hidden items on page zero and on the login page and when I check the session values, I can see that some values are in the wrong items.
    I have not touched or modifed any items on the login page
    Apex 3.1 using database account authentication.
    Also, in the unmodified template, i can see the images on my navigation bar.
    But on the rest of my page templates (the navigation bar images are not displayed)

    I had to change it for hosting on apex.oracle.com since I don't have any username/password account access.
    The application(s) normally use database account authentication.
    (feel free to modify the authentication scheme/templates , if you need passwords or anything let me know)
    I still had the same problem , the one with the template not modified allowed me to log in and the one with the modified template did not.
    I have since rejigged the template and it now allows a login everytime.
    There is definitely something template related which affects the login. (I did notice that my language item was in the password field).
    I have one more issue to solve now and thats why my navigation bar images display on the login page but not on the main page. (I'll update the applications with the modified templates)

  • Do you have to upload all new pages if you edited the template file?

    I've edited a template in Dreamweaver and applied all changes to pages that use this template.
    Previously, I had been uploading the templates onto my server, but after realizing that uploading the edited template to the web the pages didn't change.
    When you edit the template in Dreamweaver shouldn't it automatically pull from the new template when you look at the pages online? OR do you have to upload each new page to your server that used that template?
    or in other words..
    Does the webpage pull the information from the template in Dreamweaver or from the server?
    Thank you.

    Any pages that have been updated after the template has been updated will need to be uploaded to the server. The pages do not automatically "connect" to the template and reflect it's rendering while on the server - that would require Server Side Includes or a dynamic server-side language (like PHP or ASP .NET) .

  • Instancebegin template populating twice in child pages

    I just made a change to my template for my site in Dreamweaver. I simply added the Google Analytics snippet to my head section, but now when it goes to update my child pages I get an error in line 1 stating "Unbalanced InstanceBegin tag" and the pages don't update. I looked at the code in one of my child pages and somehow instancebegin is now in twice. Here is a snippet of those first lines from a child page:
    <!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/Template.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" --><!DOCTYPE html>
    <!--[if IE 8]>                                          <html class="no-js lt-ie9" lang="en" > <![endif]-->
    <!--[if gt IE 8]><!--> <html class="no-js" lang="en" ><!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/Template.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" --> <!--<![endif]-->
    How can I eliminate one of those "<!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/Template.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->"? How did it get in there in the first place? Any help is appreciated!
    Update: On a side note, I tried opening a child page in textedit and deleting one of those snippets and it came back the next time I saved the template and pushed the change to the pages, so I am still looking for a way to fix this issue...

    Extra - I can see what's happening here, I think. The code is being expanded when it's copied to the child, so it's repeating the internal call to itself (randomImages is called from inside itself).  I got this code from a Dreamweaver tutorial, and it works perfectly well in a page that's not the child of a template.
    Can I prevent the code being expanded somehow? If not, can I edit the code that's copied from the template somewhere?

  • Template won't update child pages

    I have a website and my client wanted to add a sentence on all pages.  I updated the template, when it asked to "update all" It 'updated successfully'.  I haven't had a problem up to this point.  It is in a template object so I can't update each page individually.
    I had done a couple of things, added a sentence and changed the rollover color on the links. When I open the individual pages the rollover color updated but the sentence is not there. 
    When I click on the template in the Assets panel, it shows it correctly.
    I am using CS5. I have also tried the site>advanced>recreate site cache.  I have shut down everything and tried again, still doesn't work.

    The website is http://rcottonlawpc.com, in the template (which sows correctly in the assets panel) after the "areas of practice" it is supposed to say "click on your area of need".  I had typed that in just before I changed the hover over links to change color, so they would be aged at the same time. The hover links work, but the test doesn't show up on the individual pages in the code, just in the template.

    Replacing Old Website Templates in Dreamweaver
    One of the most difficult tasks for a web designer is
    updating legacy
    websites. Legacy websites are websites which have existed for
    many years.
    Often these sites have outdated code or are badly in need of
    an upgrade. For
    years, Dreamweaver has used templates to allow an entire site
    to be updated
    at once simply by making changes to a master page. But what
    do you do when
    the template itself was developed with outdated code and the
    site needs a
    complete design overhaul? How do you fix it without having to
    cut and paste
    the content from every existing page to a newly designed one?

  • How Can I speed  up the results on my JSP page with the help of Caching.

    I am generating a dropdown listbox by merging an xml file with a style sheet(xsl).
    This list box comes up fine without any problems. Now, I am adding some advanced
    logic to the
    style sheet (xsl) to use the same xml file in a more efficient way. This time
    the generation
    of the list box is taking much longer (upto 25 seconds) although I get the results
    I want.
    Is there any way I could speedup this process by using weblogics caching. I know
    the process is slowing down
    due to the code in the stylesheet. Will caching resolve this issue?. I tried
    using
    <wl:cache> </wl:cache> on the jsp page generating this listbox but found no improvement.
    Any help will be very much appreciated.

  • Firefox loads only blank new tabs for all web pages, with blank url bar.

    After a minor automatic update (16.0.1 --> 16.0.2), firefox is now completely unusable.
    Any time I attempt to load a page, it only shows a blank tab labeled 'new tab'.
    The url bar for this page will be blank if I try to open it from a link or bookmakrk.
    The url bar for this page will be exactly what I typed if I manually typed a url.
    Right-clicking the blank pages does nothing: no context menu.
    The 'troubleshooting information' page DID load properly though; it's the only page I've been able to display at all so far.
    Restarting firefox did not fix the issue.
    Restarting firefox in safe mode with addons disabled did NOT fix the issue -- so please don't waste time trying to tell me it's the addons.
    Changing network proxy settings did not fix the issue.
    There are no connection problems: IE can load pages just fine from the same computer.
    I love mah firefox... but now it's dead... please help!

    Update: Solved:
    Firefox works properly after restarting entire computer.
    It's poor form to require computer restarts for minor browser updates... and even poorer to not say so when you do.
