    Nested Templates--will changes to root cascade down automatically?

    skeeze Community Member
      I am using nested templates in Dreamweaver and have a global master template called "core" where the header and footer are defined. From there I created nested templates by creating a web page from the "core" template and then saving it off as a new template. I then create several web pages based on the "nested" templates. The problem is that when I update the "core" template, it only updates the nested template .dwt pages that were based on the core template. I then have to open each of the nested templates, make some kind of change and then it updates all of my content pages. Is this normal behavior, or should by making a change to the "core" template cause all pages to be updated?

      Thanks in advance

          It sounds NOT normal, but why are you using nested templates? They bring
          lots of complications into your life....
