I'm using Dreamweaver 4.0; made templates and made pages from templates but...I can't name my pages!

I type the name in the page properties and it doesn't stay after I save it. I've tried naming the template but them the page takes the name that's on the template, when each page should have a different name.

What am I doing wrong?

Anyone?
Thanks
Kali

Here's the answer, in case it helps someone else:

As I was tring to name the pages, I was using the design view, not the code view; the pages were behaving according to the template specs. The region I was trying to change (title) was not editable in the template. By switching to code view, I was able to notice that and make that area editable. then I could name each page accordingly.

Happy now.

Thanks, Kali!

That was a great question, and I was trying to find the answer since I didn't know it right off.

So, I'm glad that you answered your own question, and you answered for the rest that didn't know.

I realize that a lot of my questions/problems come from not knowing HTML - I design my pages from the design view.
So, I'm making a point of studying HTML through some of the many online tutorials. I know the problem with naming a page would have been solved faster if I just read the code right away.

As they say, though, making mistakes is the best way to learn...

Hi kali,

HTML is generally not too tough of a scripting language. Even though I code entirely in Notepad, I know very few HTML tags -- I often have to look it up on a website as well. Don't worry about knowing the little details -- you'll always be able to find them later. Here's a list of what you should know:

absolute basic tags (html, head, title, body)
basic formatting tags (font, bold/italic/underline)
the break tag (br), and   (this makes a space)
the link tag (a href)
the image tag (img src)
alignment tags (center, div align, p)
table tags (table, tr, td)
addon tags for tables (cellspacing, cellpadding, height, width, border, bordercolor, valign, background, bgcolor)
addon tags for <body> tag (background, bgcolor, link/vlink/alink to control link color)
addon tags for font (color/size/face)
you might want to know ordered and bulleted lists (ol, ul, li)

That's the extent of my HTML knowledge. I also know all the form tags (that allow me to create buttons, input boxes, drop-down boxes, and radio buttons), but you won't really need them into you get into JavaScript or PHP. I hope this helps.

Yeah, knowing HTML can be a very good thing. I am glad I took the time to learn it (It got me a job helping to run a website). But the language you really want to learn is Perl...have fun...
