That won't strip the original content of the page, or areas added by the prior DWT
- unless you 1st delete all the old DWT content from each of the pages that used the former DWT
When you detach a DWT, the content added by the DWT becomes hard code Html in the pages that used the old DWT
When you attach a new DWT, it respects the existing html (especially in the <Body> tag area in the affected page and does not strip
it
(it will change any HEAD section
To remove that Html, go into the actual affected page and manually delete it
Or
Do Not Detach the 1st DWT template, and in your new DWT (or strip.dwt) make Only the regions you want to preserve in the page (not
the other editable regions from your old template)
Then select Attach DWT and select your new DWT
- in the Choose Editable Regions for Content Dialog select each Old region and Modify to select (none) for the New Region (and make
sure the Old / New for the areas you want to preserve are matched
| You have to remove the first DWT before applying the new.
| One way to achieve this is:
|
| Create a new, blank page and save as a DWT (strip.dwt)
| Create editable regions to match those on your original DWT (original.dwt)
| Do not place any other content on the page.
| Apply strip.dwt to the page(s) you want to remove original.dwt from.
| Then detach the DWT from the page.
|
| Result: All traces of original.dwt removed.
