Re: DW Template question

1) open the dwt
2) highlight the meta tags in the source view
3) cut them right out of the source (ctrl-x)
4) paste them inside the editable area that is surrounding the
title tag
5) update pages

...you will need to manually add the new meta tags to all existing
pages, but the ones outside the editable title area will disappear
and new pages from this point on will have them inside the
editable area along with the title.

As an alternative, you could create an editable area for meta tags
in addition to the title area, although I it's really serving no
purpose separately (from the title area.)

I believe if you edit the meta tags right out of your
configuration template, you will no longer have them generated in
a non-editable area when you start a new template and can add them
manually as you wish.

Hi all,

I've finally ventured into the realms of Dreamweaver's templates
and hit a
snag that I can't seem to find an answer to.

I can create a template without any problems and define editable
regions
(including - finally - ones which allow me to enter additional
paragraphs).
What I can't modify or mark as editable are the meta tags.  For
most pages,
this won't be a problem.  There are, however, going to be
different key
words and descriptions required for others.

I've tried editing the meta tags once the template was applied and
only the
title tag would accept any changes.  I tried to make the meta tags
editable,
but the option was greyed out.

So what's the answer?  Don't use the template for those pages? Or
am I
better of using library items for those things that must be
consistent
across multiple pages of the same level?

Eagerly awaiting your replies,
