Using styles, timelines, behaviors, and head tags in templates

CSS styles, timelines, behaviors, and head section tags are not fully supported in documents based on templates.

All of those elements insert information in the head section of a document. Since the head section of a document based on a template is locked (except for the document's title), Dreamweaver can't insert a style sheet or JavaScript code in such a document. To use these items in a document based on a template, you must add them to the template file that the document is based on. (To allow a style sheet in a template file to be editable without having to update pages every time you change the style sheet, use an external style sheet.)

If adding these elements to the template file isn't possible, you can detach the document from the template, which makes the head section editable. However, after you detach the document from the template, the document will no longer update when you change the template. See Detaching a document from a template.

For more information about these elements, see Using CSS style sheets, Animating your layers, and Behaviors overview.
