Nav bar in DWT?

[Jay Levitt]

I'm new to FP2003. I want to include a navigation bar on most of my
pages, but on some pages I won't want it. So I figured I'd create a
dynamic web template, and make the nav bar an editable region.

However, when I do this, and then attach the DWT to a page, the nav bar
doesn't appear; that just ends up being an empty cell in my layout
table.

Is there a way to do this without creating multiple DWTs?

Editable regions means the user needs to / can add content there
Only Non-editable regions are applied to all pages

Create several DWT (one with and 1 without the nav bar) in an non-editable region to apply to different pages

This does not seem to be correct. I can certainly place normal text in
the DWT as "default" content for an editable region, and then leave it
in there or edit it as I choose. The only problem comes with special
author-time content like nav bars.

In fact, I'm not sure what I changed, but now I am able to place both
nav bars and regular text in a DWT.

Did you actually try to duplicate this when you answered? I'm curious
if you tried it and found the same problem, or if you were just basing
the answer on your general knowledge of Frontpage.
