Hi all,

I’m constantly updating and editing a website that I’ve created using HTML and CSS in DMX. Is there a more easier way of making changes to the same element on each page without having to manually change each page on my own? For instance, I need to change the submenu on each page. How can I do that globally for each page without having to open, and cut & paste each page (~20 pgs. or so).

I’m somewhat familiar with the Dreamweaver templates, but if I attach a template to an existing page, it overrides the entire page to the current template page. Am I doing something wrong? I know there has to be a better way! Please help!

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks
