Not sure if anyone else here uses Dreamweaver but just in case I fugured I would ask.

I have recently figured out how to use included files in Dreamweaver (yes I am slow) but when I include the header line at the top of my pages it blanks out everything else on the design view version of the page with the exception of the header table which is somehow now shown (even though I thought it wasn't supposed to be at all).

Anyone else ever seen this problem or know how to correct it?

I'm not quite sure what you are refering too.
but if you post the html file that is causing the problem I could take a look

I am using the 2003 version of dreamweaver on my XP operating system.

I can try to post the file:

test page

The page loads up just fine. The problem appears to be when I try to use it in Dreamweaver to edit the main page. If I have the header include line already there then the only thing the design view will show is the header tables. Which I didn't think it was supposed to until the pages were loaded but what do I know.

I am not an html/Dreamweaver expert but maybe the duplicate html/head/title tags might cause some trouble!?

Curious...when I pull open the file in dreamweaver it doesn't show the duplicate tags.

It shows this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<!--#include file="header.shtm" -->
</head>

<body bgcolor="#333333" text="#FFFFFF" link="#0066FF" vlink="#FF0000">

<table width="800" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="400" rowspan="2" align="center"></td>
<td align="center" valign="top">Links</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<!--#include file="footer.shtm" -->
</body>
</html>

Nope I see it on the page on line. I just can't see where it is coming from in Dreamweaver.

what I would do is just delete the unneeded duplicate tags in any text editor and than reopen it in Dreamweaver to see what happens than
