| Preparing a Template-based Web for DWTs
 
A web site created using a 3rd Party FrontPage Web Template
or that uses a FrontPage theme / navigation must be prepared before
attaching a DWT. You will need to remove all the common content (navigation
link bars, page banners, sidebars, etc.) keeping only the unique page
content. Luckily, you only have to go through this once! There are
several ways to do this: Client-side or
Server-side Scripting
Note: Duplicate any pages with JavaScript or server side scripting (ASP,
PHP, etc.) on it as this code will not likely be preserved when the DWT is
applied to the page. You can use the duplicated page to re-add the script to
the page after the DWT is attached. Luckily, you will only have to do
this once as well.
 | Bring up each page in the web and run it through the
following process: |
- Select the content you want to preserve on the
page by using a click drag operation with your mouse (only one area
can be selected)
Then on your keyboard do the following:
- Control + C (copy the selected area to the clip board)
- CTRL + A (select the contents of the entire page)
- Delete (deletes the entire contents of the page)
- CTRL + V (paste the previously selected area to the page)
Save the page and repeat on remaining pages until all pages are
stripped. This preferred method will keep the navigation structure,
meta tags and title tags intact.
| Delete the common design elements until only main
content is left. This method will also keep the navigation
structure, meta tags and title tags intact but it requires an
understand of how to delete unwanted design elements and tables
while keeping the text intact.
|
| Build a new, empty web add a blank pages and copy
the content of your existing web pages into the pages of the new
web. In this scenario, you will have to rebuild the web navigation,
meta tags and title tags. |
