DW MX templates: Changing page names

Jun 6, 2005 6:37PM PDT

I have made a template, using Dreamweaver MX, which I'm applying to around 8 web pages.

I need to give each page a different name, as it appears at the top of the web browser. Currently, this comes up as 'Template'.

Normally, in untemplated pages, I'd go to Modify/Page Properties and apply the specific name in there. But, for my templated set of pages, this doesn't seem possible.

I can change the name successfully by going to Modify/Templates/Detach From Template and then changing the name through Modify/Page properties. But I would assume that bydoing this, any future template changes will not apply themselves to the 'detached' pages ... unless I can re-attach those detached pages again to the template.

I'm sure it can't be as difficult to do what I wish as I seem to be finding it, so can anyone help me on this?

somewhere at the top of the coded page (html) there should be a tag called "title" it will look like this:
<title>THE NEW TITLE GOES HERE</title>

Sounds like the header section of your template is a "locked" region.

Solution: open your template and make the head section, i.e., the area between <head> </head> editable.

Sorry to take so long to get back. Both of your suggestions were useful and I think I found a solution - well it worked for me - based on both. Thanks guys.
