Dynamic Web Template (DWT)
Article ID: KB101230
A Dynamic Web Template is a feature of FrontPage 2003, Expression Web, or Dreamweaver
which allows you to create web pages that share the same underlying layout.
In a DWT, you can define some regions to be editable and prevent others to
be non-editable. This allows the web pages based on that DWT to have the
underlying design preserved. When the actual DWT file is modified, all pages
based on that DWT will have those changes applied, similar to the idea of
FrontPage's Include Pages or
Dreamweaver's Libraries.
Several different DWTs can be used in a site. For example, a site may have
a one-column DWT, a two-column DWT, and a three-column DWT. The DWTs
may be attached to as many pages as you'd like. Detaching a DWT does not
remove the layout, but causes the page to no longer be "attached" to the DWT -
it basically turns it into a "normal" web page. Any changes made to the original
DWT will no longer affect that page.
