I designed a small site based on one template in Dreamweaver8. I wanted to change the title of all the site pages so I opened the template file and clicked Modify>Page properties but all I got was a windo that contains:

Document Type (DTD)" (drop down menu)

Document Encoding: (drop down menu)

what am I doing wrong?

or you can click on the HTML tab on look for <title>Title here</title>

If it's a template, this won't work - when you switch back to Design View, Dreamweaver will tell you you've made changes it doesn't allow, and revert them.

What you need to do is create a(n invisible) editable region in the page template, in the head region. More or less like this:

Code:

<head>
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="PageTitle" -->
    <title>Shooting Star Trails</title>
    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    <link href="/Photos.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="/Nav.js"></script>
</head>

After some searching on the web, I found out how:

From the View menu, select Toolbars>Document to show the Document toolbar.

In the Document toolbar, in the Title text box, type in a title.
