Using a Dreamweaver Template I found online

My website is tocatchamiracle.com. I am sorry I don't have a test site yet.
here: http://www.freedreamweavertemplates.org/Preview/Deer%20Park/deerpark.html
Do I use that template just as if I had made it in DW from my index.html?

Copy the Template files to your local site folder.
Open the Template index page and SaveAs prototype.html.
Make required changes. Save.

Looking at your page code I can only see <h4> heading tags, no <h1> or <h2><h3> etc. Googles spider will look at the text between each html tag and access it for importance, <h1> being the highest ranked, <h2> the next and so on.
It's important for SEO that you use 'buzz words' between the tags which Google considers the most applicable when it comes to look through your site to give your site every opportunity to be ranked higher.
So you might find that inserting 'Onlne Java Tuition' between a <h1> tag to be beneficial.
I would also insert the following between a <h2> tag as a kind of sub-header to the <h1>tag.
'Personal Online Java Tutor, Java J2ee Project Based Training by 8 Yrs Experienced Software Engineer. Get Practical Online Training in Java J2ee Jsp Servlets Jdbc J2ee Struts Hibernate Spring Ejb Ajax and other Frameworks.'
Obviously the 'buzz words' for your site are Java Online Tuition/Training so make sure you have quite a few of those integrated into the text on the page and perhaps the images alt tags as well.
Of course it is also important to try and get listed on as many associated sites/forums as posssibe as Google looks for back-links to your site. If it finds some on sites/forums which are already highly ranked then that too can help in the ranking.
It's a bit hit and miss though. Sometimes you can implement all of the above and virtually nothing will happen and at other times you can see some really very good results. I recently got a site ranked at no 2 in Google for a couple of generic buzz words which I never expected Google to bite on given that they were quite common to a lot of other websites in competition.
It's a lot easier if you have a catchment 'location' area which you are aiming at. For instance 'Hat Makers London' will stand a better chance than simply 'Hat Makers'.
Good luck.

Dreamweaver Templates with Web Gallery

I have built a site in dreamweaver CS4 I have used a Dreamweaver Template for my pages. Rather than clog my pages up with images I used Adobe Bridge to create a web gallery, It created a gallery ok and I saved it to my hard drive. It created two items, a resourses folder and an "index" file. So I I copied and pasted the two items into my Dreamweaver folder I created and called SS_Bridge. I pointed a link I created to point to the "index" file within the SS_Bridge Folder in Dreamweaver, Will this create a problem as there will be two "Index" files within my site
jjrutter

The "home" page index file would be at the root level of the site. Other folders within the root can all have their own index (default) files.

Problem Uploading Dreamweaver Template

Hi,
I am using Dreamweaver 8, and decided to revise my website
using a Dreamweaver template. The pages look GREAT when I preview
them in Firefox or IE. But when I uploaded the home page, using an
FTP program, the page looked like a mess! None of the columns in
the template were there. The formatting is all wrong, and the links
don't work! This page is horrible! I don't understand since they
looked great in the preview. Can somebody tell me what I've done
wrong?
If you'd like to view the mess, it's at
http://www.karathecomputertutor.com
Thanks!

> If you'd like to view the mess, it's at

there's a problem with the way you've defined this site in
dreamweaver.
the link you gave is at the root level of the public hosting
for that
domain.
but the css link is:
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="../karathecomputertutor4.1/3col_leftNav.css
and the links farther down in the page also are "../
that means go up one folder level.
there is no up from the root level.
The site needs to be defined so that the "homepage" file,
index.html is at
the root level of what you've picked for the Local Site
Folder.
and, all the site files need to be in the Local Site Folder
of course.
and, the remote has to show the public level, with the
index.html file in
the root (use the "Host Directory" line in dw if your files
need to go into
a folder like "public_html" or "www" for example)

Dreamweaver template files updating, but javascript/jquery not being called on random pages.

Hello,
I have been tasked with updating the navigation on a site that is using a Dreamweaver template (DWT) as the base file. The navigation was originally built using jQuery navigation UI, however this did not address all of our needs and I have updated it with another version of an accordion.
The .dwt file only is only controlling the navigation and the head of the site.
I have integrated the new xhtml structure and added/removed javascript/jquery into the .dwt file. I saved the file, therefore updating all of the relevant .html files, and verified that the accordion works.
However - the accordion does not work for all of the xhtml files. Some files, seemingly at random, are not pulling in the javascript.
When opening the relevant .html files, I can verify that they have all been updated with the new xhtml and the correct javasctipt. However, when viewing the .html files that are not displaying correctly with FireBug, I can see that none of the jquery/javascript is being applied to the navigation (classes are missing that are injected into the xhtml, but the structure and css is correct).
I've done some research and the only issues I've been able to find are related to .xhtml files not being updated with the correct code, but in my case all of the affected files have the correct xhtml and scripts in the head.
Does anyone have any light to shed on this subject? I am quite puzzled.

While I understand that looking at code is the ultimate way to find a solution, the intent of my question was not "how do i fix this" or "what is wrong with my code" but rather "does anyone have any idea as to why this would be happening". Or even, "where would you start to troubleshoot this".
I made my question general as such because I intended on trying to troubleshoot on my own in order to better understand the issue.
Thank you for stating the obvious, not all first time forum posters are completely unaware of how to ask questions properly.

DreamWeaver Template - How to remove a border?

Hi Folks,
I'm a newbie here.
I decided to use a dreamweaver template to start my website. I want to remove the border of the template...as well as to make the Left and Right hand side "margins" the same background color as the webpage... can anyone tell me where to start on this? Thanks for the help,
Joe

For myself, the best place to learn about this sort of thing is staring you in the face... I don't like books. I find that suffering thru solving things is the best way to learn. The internet is a very good resource, and taking a course or two never hurt me, though I usually had most courses completed by the second class (I couldn't put this stuff down once I started).
Dreamweaver is just a tool...one of a few fairly decent ones. Learning how to use it is nice, but the more important things to learn are the languages of web design, which can be overwhelming to catch and keep up with. For the basics, I'd say you want to get neck deep into HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
I don't do web design on a continuous basis... my dealings are more often in the Flash realm. Other folks here may have other recommendations that may be better advice to follow. You'll probably find a few postings where someone has asked how to learn what, so look around a bit. If you don't find anything, just ask it straight out as a new posting.

Dreamweaver template - Image display

Hey everyone.
I am using a Dreamweaver template that I have created to
format my pages. The banner is a graphic. I have created 2 pages,
both with the same template. When i view these in IE one has a
crisp clear image and the other one has jagged edges (like i have
resized it). I have went through the code for both pages and they
are EXACTLY the same.
I am complete stumped as to why this is happening. I have
never seen this before.
Does anyone have an suggestions as to what to look for, or to
solve this??

Show us the pages, please.

Dreamweaver TEmplate

I created a webpage using the dreamweaver template when I
open it in the browser in a maximize screen its perfect but when I
adjust the size the content on the middle 'div' is going to the
bottom at the page. How can I do it like if I resize the page The
contents will not be affected? Thanks!!

> Of course the image in the middle
> Section which is 3 inches wide will not fit. Right?
That's correct, although inches mean nothing on the screen of
a variety of
users. Pixels would be the more consistent and proper unit of
measure.
> In regards with the css,java, html,
It's javascript, not Java. The two are completely different
things.
> why did you say it?s advanced?
The layout method used on the page is a bit arcane and unlike
other 2/3
column layouts I have seen.
> I know that it?s just to make a template command
> so that you can edit a certain section by using css
> style sheets right?
Hmmm - I don't understand what you are saying. CSS would have
nothing to do
with whether or not you can edit a section.
> But isn?t dreamweaver will make the code for you?
DW will not prevent you from making a mess of those pages,
even though It's
doing what you are telling it to.
> What kinds of difficulties or problems do you think

Go here -
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?q=+group:macromedia.dreamweaver
Search this forum for "HALO" or "CSS template". You will have
all of those
problems, perhaps.
Look - I don't want to discourage you from using this as an
ACADEMIC
exercise, but I don't think it's a good choice for any
commercial entity.
There are much better free/commercial choices you can make -

This is two of the best, in my opinion.

Migrating from legacy site / dreamweaver templates

We are going to migrate to the weblogic portal content management over the next few months - we have thousands of pages on our old site that were created using dreamweaver templates.
Is there a way to automate the migration - to import the old html files? I could use the dreamweaver template to strip out the old design. But then how would I import it? What have other users done when migrating from an old static site to a content management system?

You can use bulk loader utility of WLP. Please see the link http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs102/cm/bulkloader.html

How do I get Firefox to use less memory? None of the answers I've found online work. I'm ready to go back to IE!

I like to keep several tabs open while I'm working. I have friends who do this with no noticeable effect on their computer speed. My Task Manager consistently shows a huge amount of memory being used by firefox, increasing as I keep my browser open. Closing tabs doesn't help, and I've tried about a dozen "fixes" that I've found online. Thanks for your help.

Found 1 web using missing web template 14001 (lcid: 1033) with compatibility level 14

Hi,
I am receiving the following error when I try to upgrade an SP 2010 content database to SP2013: "Found 1 web using missing web template 14001 (lcid: 1033) with compatibility level 14".
How do I find out what that web template is? Or, how do I move all of the web templates from the old sp to the new sp?
thanks,

Preparing images for Dreamweaver cs3, using InDesign for templates

Hi, I'm about to start putting all my files together for my
website, but need to know in what form to save my images. I know
they should be jpegs or gifs, but what resolution, and what size?
Should I size them close to the size I want to see them on my
website? For example if I want to make a little linked (like a
thumbnail that you click on) image of a painting, and have the full
size image of that painting open up, should I save that image in
two different sizes?
Also, the tutorial I'm learning from says I can make a
template for use in Dreamweaver, with Photoshop or Illustrator, but
I'd rather use InDesign. Can I use InDesign files as templates in
Dreamweaver? If so, in what form should I save them?

> Can I
> use InDesign files as templates in Dreamweaver?
it won't be of any practical use, except to print out and use
as a guide.
on the images, make them the PIXEL size they need to be in
the web page.
If you aren't sure yet what exact size they will be, make
them a bit
oversize. Then after changing the html display size of them
in dreamweaver
(click on the image, then press shift key and drag corner of
image to
resize) you can jot down the pixel size shown in the dw
properties
inspector, and resize the image in an image editor to those
pixel
dimensions. For a resolution, just use 72 ppi as a number to
put there.
It's the pixel dimension that matters.

NEW! Free Dreamweaver templates WITH Fireworks vector files

I just released some free Dreamweaver templates that include
not only the Dreamweaver template dwt file, but also the original
pre-sliced Fireworks file with all the template graphics.
The templates include the dwt, Fireworks file, pure CSS
menus, are AdSense-ready, XHTML 1.0 valid and are very customizable
through both the Fireworks file and the CSS.
If you use one, let me know so I can get a screenshot and
post a link to your site showing how the templates have been
customized by various designers.
Cheers!
Brodit

Can you post a link to the PHP page, please? This will allow
me to see the
HTML markup on it....

Dreamweaver template not making changes

Hello everyone,
I have been assigned to a new client and thus "take over" an existing website. This website is setup in Dreamweaver using Templates.
The main Template is using "Param"s to switch the state of the buttons, on or off.
So, I create a new page and link it to this Template. All seems fine.
Next, I would like to change which button is "on".
Based on my research it appears you must do this change through the "Modify>Template Properties" panel. Not by editing the code by hand.
So, I open this up, click on the button code I want to change, hit OK, and I can see that in the head it has changed the Param code.
Now I have the code below.





The defaults are all "true" and the one I just changed is "false".
However, the button state of #4 still has not changed. I have tried various buttons and nothing seems to change.
This perplexes me. Is there something else I need to edit?
Any ideas would be helpful thanks!
Mr Zedd

Thanks "typoman" and "Murray ACE" for your quick responses. I appreciate it.
I was going to post a link to the files in question, but your responses prompted me to do some more testing, specifically to verify that in fact this  code is actually being used.
So, I created a child page and then step-by-step went through and changed the state of each of the 13 buttons. Surprisingly all of the button states changed, except the one I needed, #6. When I changed that state nothing happened at all, but when I changed the #7 button both 6 & 7 buttons changed.
Going back to the Template I found that someone had put in the head code correctly:

but in the body itself there was no #6, only two #7's:

So, once I edited this code everything now works.
Thanks for your input, as it helped me to find the issue.
Gracias!
Mr Zedd
