- Dynamic Web Templates are identified by the extension ".dwt."
- The Dynamic Web Templates for this package are located in
the "business_group_dwt" folder.
- Dynamic Web Templates act as the "base" for all of
your web site (.htm) pages. If you change the underlying .dwt,
all the web pages based on that .dwt will change. This makes
for easy site-wide changes to the underlying design.
- Dynamic Web Templates have "editable" and "non-editable"
regions.
- Editable Regions can change from page to page
-- your page content, for example. You can open the web
site pages (.htm) and make changes in the Editable Regions.
- Non-editable Regions are areas defined by the
base .dwt, and cannot be changed on the individual .htm
pages.
- To change non-editable regions, you will have
to open the base .dwt file. Changing this .dwt file will
change every page associated with it across your web site.
- Open the "business_group_dwt" folder.
- Open the DWT you want to change.
- Make your changes and save. The changes will propagate
across all the pages that are associated with that DWT.
- This template package requires you to change the
.dwt files in order to add your logo and change copyright information.
Please see the Template-Specific Instructions below.
- The Dynamic Web Template Interchange Guidelines are a set
of guidelines used by many developers to provide dynamic web
templates that interchange seamlessly.
- This template follows the DWTIG. This means that
you can apply any other DWTIG-compliant template to your web
site and have it convert painlessly and easily. Or, you can
apply this DWT package to any DWTIG-compliant site in a few
steps.
- If you have a web site with scripting, there are some special
considerations that you will have to make when using DWTs. Please
refer to the DWT
Interchange Guidelines website (www.dwtig.com) for current
information regarding scripting (ASP, Javascript, etc.) located
outside the <body> </body> tags of web pages.
