One of the more complex template functions to wrap the ol' noggin around is Dreamweaver MXs capability to lock markup above the opening HTML tag (<html>) or below the closing HTML tag (</html>): <!-- TemplateInfo codeoutsidehtmlislocked="{value}" -->.
Very often people get lost reading the content of Dreamweavers F1 help files due to inconsistencies and plain wrong information regarding templates. That 's where this tutorial comes into play and teaches you what this markup does and how to use it through several examples.
After reading and performing the mini-projects of this tutorial, you will understand what the markup does, how it is inserted, and how to get the best of both worlds (locked and unlocked) as possible
