Using Spry how to stop Dreamweaver CS3 from Changing Code

Question

Hi
  I am using Dreamweaver CS3 to build/maintain a website www.ghoter.net. I started using Spry to insert data from an xml file as I need the data in the xml file to show up on several different pages, includeing the home page. The data in the xml file changes from time to time. This is working wery well. But I am having a problem with Dreamweaver automaticly  changing a line of code in the html files every time I make a change to the html file. The line of code that is being changed is in the head of the program.
This is the line of code that is being changed: The xml's name is data-3.xml The date from the xml file goes at the top of the left collumn.
The good code is:  var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data-3.xml", "customers/customer",{distinctOnLoad:true});
The above line of code is automaticly being changed to this below, which does not work:
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data-3.xml", "customers/customer",<MM:BeginLock translatorClass="MM_SPRY" type="MM_SPRY_DATA_REFERENCE" orig="{distinctOnLoad:true}" ><MM_DYNAMIC_CONTENT DYNAMICDATA=1><MM:DECORATION HILITECOLOR="Dyn Untranslated Color">{distinctOnLoad:true}</MM:DECORATION></MM_DYNAMIC_CONTENT></script><MM:EndLock>);
I can replace the bad line of code with the good code just befor saving the html file and the good line of code will be saved with the file and the web page works as it should.
Any help would be appricated. Thanks

Hi Jack,
I think (not sure though) that the Library Item is causing the problem. I never use the Library Item because server side includes are far more efficient and need less maintenance.
Have a look here http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/ssi.php
If you have PHP serverside scripting language, use DW to add serverside includes using PHP.
Getting back to your original problem, try without the Library Item and see if DW still changes the code.
I hope this helps.
