1. Re: DW template problems
Sigh. This is pretty puzzling. Please stop changing things and send me the
site again.

4. Re: DW template problems
I unzipped your site into my folder. I opened the template and looked at
the preloads. It looked fine. I used FILE | New > Templates > site name >
template name > Create, to spawn a child page. I saved the child page as
test1.html, and uploaded it here (along with dependent files) -
http://www.murraytestsite.com/pinkolive/test1.html
What is different about what I did just now and what you have been doing?

5. DW template problems
Man, look at that! It looks fine, even the child preloads. Now why won't it work for me. I think the other day when I was working on it, the first child looked ok, then subsequent children (?) started having the problems. Like I'd create test2.htm and put it in a sub-sub-folder a couple levels down from the root. As I was uploading it and dependents, I'd get a message *sometimes* saying one of the "mm" .js files has changed since your last Put function... upload anyway? I always said Yes to all, and wonder if that's where the problem is.
If it wouldn't be too much trouble, would you mind just creating a couple sub-levels of folders and popping up a second test?
Right now I am going to delete all files from my test site and try to create a "fresh" child....
ETA: Could the fact that I use the .htm extension (out of habit rather than anything else) vs. .html cause any of this? Seems unlikely, but... -
6. DW template problems
Alright this really makes no sense. I went to my local and remote views and deleted all files to make sure no remnants were sitting there. Previewed locally and uploaded template to remote, in both it looks great:
http://www.newton-designs.com/pink/Templates/main.dwt
Then I created a child, designated it .html just to be on the safe side (rather than htm) and once again, I've lost the rollovers and pop-up menus at the top, and the preloads are messed up.
http://www.newton-designs.com/pink/test.html
How on earth do I get the template to work on my machine??
The only thing I see in the code is the following statement is the same in both files, shouldn't it be relative with ../ ?? -
7. Re: DW template problems
Try this. Delete the site definition in Site Manager. Then recreate it
somewhere else. Then copy the template file from the old site to the new
site (and the images folder and the CSS/js) using Finder/Explorer. Now try
again.

8. Re: DW template problems
Ok, am in the process of doing this... in the site manager, I noticed this templates section... wondering if I should uncheck it. See:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=f55d8739
Could this have been my problem? -
9. Re: DW template problems
Nope, didn't work. New child:
http://www.newton-designs.com/pink/test2.htm
I wonder if re-doing all the rollovers/pop-ups in the FW file would help. I swear I did that before though...
Thank you, btw, for your continued help. -
10. Re: DW template problems
No, definitely not.

11. Re: DW template problems
I tried something else... I opened the html exported from FW (just the top banner part) and saved it as a template (no editable regions). Preview in browser, everything looks fine. I create a child from it and once again, the pop-up menus and rollovers no longer work. Trying to isolate my problem.
Still doesn't answer why the template worked ok on your machine but won't on mine. -
12. Re: DW template problems
In the NEW site, and the template file, remove and then reapply JUST the
preload. See if that helps.

14. Re: DW template problems
The page is throwing js errors for me - three of them point to the menu js,
and one points to the preload.
Try this. REMOVE the preload and leave it gone.
Then on the remote site, delete the mm_menu.js file. Re-upload it.
What happens now when you browse to that page?

15. Re: DW template problems
Killed the preload in the template, deleted mm_css_menu.js and reloaded it. Created new child:
http://www.newton-designs.com/pink/testing2.htm
Same problems. And I have the problem viewing the child pages locally too. Template works (viewing in browser) locally and remotely fine. -
16. Re: DW template problems
OK - next step.
I'm going to zip my instance of the site, and mail it back to you. Replace
EVERYTHING in your site with this.
I'm beginning to think that there is something else involved and that we are
twiddling non-involved bits.

Awesome, thank you. Not sure who the cavalry are in this case, but if they can help with this strange template problem they are welcome to free cake at my son's 3rd birthday party tomorrow ;)
