The default values set in Editable attributes are not rendered when viewing the template in the
Design view, only in the template-derived document. This is a known bug in Dreamweaver.
Setting Editable Attributes
After you??™ve inserted your editable attributes in the template, Dreamweaver provides a straightforward user
interface for editing them in template-derived documents. Whether you choose File ??? New or select the
template in the Assets panel to create your new document, you find a new command available under the
Modify menu: Template Properties.

Using Dreamweaver Templates 28
The Template Properties dialog box, shown in Figure 28-7, lists all the editable attributes found on a single
page. Selecting each property brings up the editing options for that particular attribute type (text, number,
color, URL, and true/false) and the current associated value. After modifying any or all of the template properties,
Dreamweaver refreshes the page and displays the attributes with their new values.
FIGURE 28-7
How you specify the value for an editable attribute in the Template Properties dialog box depends on the type of
attribute.
With each of the Template Properties types, you have the option to allow the nested template to control the
attribute.
