How do I do this in Dreamweaver CS3
Submitted by copywriter on Mon, 02/25/2008 - 18:41.
Hello...
I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 and still learning how to use it.
When I modify my navigation menu in my home (index) file - either adding or deleting menu topics and titles and their underlying links - is there a way for that modification to be AUTOMATICALLY updated on ALL of my website pages rather than changing each page's nav menu one-by-one?
If so, could you please explain how to do that.
Thank you!

Re: How do I do this in Dreamweaver CS3
Yes - you can do this one of two ways in Dreamweaver.
1 - Use a Dreamweaver template file to store your navigation and other sitewide content - (see Dreamweaver help file).
2 - Use a PHP include. http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_includes.asp

Dreamweaver has a library
Dreamweaver has a library function which allows you to update the library and everything that contains that library will update
Another way to get that help
Another way to get that help is open up Dreamweaver, take a deep breath and then press teh F1 key. Everything you would need to get started is in there. Eventually you'll get to know html well enough not to rely on editors and you might choose to just work out of the code.
Also http://www.w3schools.com/ is a great place to learn the basics of almost anything online. I would be a semi-rich man if they only had an affiliate program. :)

I used template
I'm quite new too. So my suggestion may not be the best solution though.
I save file as template and set content area as editable region (navigation is not editable)
I apply template to any page that I need this navagation bar.
Anytime I update template, it will asked whether or not I need to update those relevant pages.
Hope this helps.
