Using Library Web Templates
>> Using Standard Templates
Templates are located in: http://www.library.yale.edu/fdfiles_xhtml/.
To use the templates correctly:
- FTP the desired template off of the server.
- Create your page.
- Save it with a new name.
- FTP it to the proper location on the server.
Do not View Source in the web browser to view and
copy the code. View Source displays the page after the server
side includes (SSIs) have executed. If you modify the XHTML copied from View Source,
your page will not work because the SSIs won't be executed correctly.
Do not try to copy code from one template into another --
for example, don't start with a basic template, decide you really need a
subhead template, and just try to copy the subhead code into the basic template.
Do not put any <font> tags into your page. The font style is
controlled by the library's Cascading Style Sheet,
and additional <font> tags within the body of the page can cause
font display problems. If you are using Dreamweaver to create your page,
check the resulting code and remove any <font> or <div>
tags that Dreamweaver has inserted.
