When I save my template to index.htm, The index coding for the index file should be grayed out and the header should not be editable. That us not happening, I have done this with 4 other templates in the past year and there are no problems. I cannot see any differences in the header/index coding with what I am doing today. Any suggestions? Oh he maximenu2 is OK.

I infer from the post that he is trying to Save Template.dwt as index.html. And that simply won't work.

If you need more help, copy & paste your Template code into a web forum reply.

You don't. That's not how to use DW Templates.

DWT files are used to spawn new CHILD pages.

Go to File > New > Site Templates. Select your site and Template.

Hit Create button. See screenshot.

Save newly created child page as index.html (Ctrl/Cmd+S).
