1. Re: Display shows a gray background in locked area of template.... why?
It's a path problem.:
background-image: url(file:///Macintosh HD/Users/johnnez/Documents/Jonz2012site/images/goodgrey.gif);
The CSS background image is pointed to a file on your local hard drive. It should be pointing to your site ../images/goodgrey.gif.

2. Re: Display shows a gray background in locked area of template.... why?
Thanks... but I guess I just don't get trying to modify templates at all.
Even when I'm just previewing the template based page in DW on my local drive the same blacked out grey appears.
I haven't tried uploading to my web host yet.
I think I'm just going to forget templates for my site... too complicated.
I saw where it's possible to just copy and paste the list of links into any new pages, so I'll do that instead.
Thanks again!

Templates are designed to make your life simpler but they require some initial steps in DW in order to work properly.
Mt first guess is that you have not defined a site in Dreamweaver yet.
Having said all that, I don't use Templates in DW myself. I prefer Server Side Includes but that's another level of complexity to get your mind around how they work. After that, they're a breeze.
