Template- Not all pages look the same after an update is done after i change some text size on the template?

on the template i make the change and when i update the pages it changes some of them but some other pages have a much different size of text then that which i changed?

RE: Template- Not all pages look the same after an update

Hi Gavin,

There are a few reasons this may be happening.

First of all, ensure the cache on your browser has been cleared. ie. refresh the pages (F5) once you've opened them in your browser. You may also need to clear your history and temporary internet files and then refresh.

Another problem may be that you have an editable region on your template wrapped in a certain font size, but then within your actual web pages, additional font size information may be overriding the region's default size.

For example (pseudo code):
{start font size 2}
{start editable region}
{start font size 1}
Text appears on page
{end font size 1}
{end editable region}
{end font size 2}

Even though you may go and update the template {font size 2} to become {font size 3}, it won't make any difference because on the web page, {font size 1} is overriding it anyway.

Check these things and if you are still having problems, post a reply and I'll think of some other reasons this could be happening. If you have a live web site, perhaps you can paste the URL (if you don't mind) and I can have a look at the actual code.

If you do this, it would be helpful to paste an example of both the font sizes, so I can compare the HTML of each. Also state which area or what the words are that are supposed to be different sizes.

Which part of the site?

Hi Gavin,

Okay, I can see the site. Which text is not the same size? Or have you fixed the problem now. The only thing I can see that's different on any of the pages, is the cellspacing of TopNav table on the Search page.

Get back to me with more details if you're still having a problem with the text size, specifically which part of the site.

Otherwise, please mark this question as resolved.

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

Xhtml vs html

When using dreamwear template or just creating a blank webpage, you are able to select the markup language you want to use. The main choices are either xhtml or html. It is now best to select xhtml as this will translate all the html into xml, so it is transmitted across the web in xml format. One of the main advantages of this is that it makes the site that you build much more compatible with the range of different web browsers that exist.
