DW templates

Browser compatiblity

[smokeyb]

I am almost afraid to ask this question but... are ther any browser and their versions, that don't support DW templates? I use MX 2004 and it shows browser incompatibility issues highlighted in the code (very useful). It hasn't ever said that using templates has an issues, but are there?
Thanks

Unless Macromedia has changed things for MX 2004, Dreamweaver templating just uses regular HTML comments to signify editable and non-editable areas, so there's no reason to think they'd cause any browser problems.

Thanks I thought as much. I wasn't entirely sure if the page was calling the template somehow.
Thanks for clearing it up

Further more

Once you have updated a template the page attached becomes independant from its parent (until you edit the template again) hence why you do not need to upload templates to your server unless you want a remote copy.

But the template elements do cache right? and do not have to load again?

[limbo]

Yes. But they cache as part of the dependant file, not directly from the .dwt

The .dwt file creates/edits html across the dependant files as you know, but once a 'template update' has been completed they do not reference one another anymore. So it is the dependant file that becomes cached - not the template itself.

Hope that made more sense.
