Hi John,

What I'd like is to keep the URL "myfile.cgi" whereever I create my new page
from the template.
In case I put "myfile.cgi" in the template, then each page I create will
have the url pointing to the folder of my template: "Templates/myfile.cgi"
or "../Templates/myfile.cgi" or "../../Templates/myfile.cgi"

Moreover, dreamweaver's templates update all urls, except if we define them
as editable area (even the ACTION of a form must be define as an editable
area if you don't want its URL to be updated)
But if you define URLs as editable areas then you loose the possibility of
changing those urls in your created pages by updating the template..
So it's not good, it seems you can't get the best of both worlds..
Or can you?

That was my mistake in my first email, it doesn't write 'file://'

Thank you, have a nice day.
