A the moment, I have had a lot of good experiences with including headers and footers via CFInclude. I set some sort of variable prior to this that is reference in the header / footer to determine output. I the following example, I set REQEST.Page which is used in the header to determine navigation and what not:
Example page with headers/ footers: http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=skinspider:0.viewcode&file=462C9E6 E7E5B1C8E6091FB8940BA7D9E49E2AE744A6169B84A729D9AE1A1A841159C8C939E4FA6F 8ABE7EF93999A6EA0AC9898823BAC1FA8CCD7C6E0A6CEC7CBFDEBA788F89288D39842A1& code_module=I1_2006_09_27&code_height=700#0587CE131042B73A28FBA15F45B078 29 Example header page: http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=skinspider:0.viewcode&file=462C9E6 E7E5B1C8E6091FB8940BA7D9E49E2AE744A6169B84A729D9AE1A1A841159C8C939E4FA6F 8ABE7EF93999A6EA0AC9898823BAC1FA8CCD7C6E0A6CEC7CBFDEBA799E1819E93884DA39 380418C97509A9A537C686EA8512A5DBDAA3DA22DBFAFA3B2BC8D7B49AC31F3&code_mod ule=I1_2006_09_27&code_height=700#911875C4F2759B4537823DD3EDD643A1 Notice that in the header, I referencing the REQUEST.Page... (SORRY of the HUGE urls). Not sure how this integrates with Dream Weaver, but since its just straight up CFIncludes I imagine it would do just fine. And now, you can manage header footer arbitrarily. You can take it one step futher and just include a _header.cfm page which would then check variables and include a TYPE of header (ex. Standard, print, email, etc). ......................

Some basic ideas just use includes, I've also seen custom tags that take attributes and effect the way a page is displayed. I'm looking for any ideas that would allow me to centrally manage header and footer content and still be able to use DreamWeaverMX2004 to make some quick table/css adjustments. Any throughts or prebuilt solutions successfully used from Adobe Exchange? Thanks.
