Thank you. Hi Steve, If I understand your question, I think you have it backwards. You want your menu in a locked region of the template, not in an editable region.
This is a concept that confuses a lot of people at first, but keep this in mind. Editable regions can be changed on any page, but not globally updated. Areas of a template that are not editable can only be edited in the template itself, but those changes are made to all of the pages created from the template. Editable regions should be created in areas of the page that you will want to change from page to page.
Hope that helps you build the right template for your site. I would like to know would it be possible to create a transparent menu bar and sub-menu if so how would one go about changing it. Do I add a property in order to achieve this?
To make the background transparent, just delete all of the background colors defined in the CSS, and whatever color appears behind the menu will show through. I want it to be visible only after mouse over it.
The next issue is that in a fluid grid layout it does not seem to allow me to place text next to the … […]. Is there a way to change all menus at the same time?

Create Horizontal or Vertical Menus As you insert a Spry Menu Bar, you have the option to create a menu that displays horizontally across your page with submenu options that drop down below the menu bar, or a vertical menu bar with submenu options that open to the right of the main menu items.
Change Rollover Colors The trick to changing the colors of the drop-down menu items is that in CSS, these colors are assigned to the link styles, which have multiple states. Change the Font Face and Size By default, a Spry drop-down menu will display in the font specified in the body style — or in the closest parent style — for the page. A little goes a long way with em sizes. Edit Menu Items in the Property Inspector When a menu bar is inserted, Dreamweaver includes placeholder text for several menu items and submenu items, such as Item 1, Item 2, etc.

For example, you can use a text field validation widget so you can verify someone has entered the right amount of digits for a phone number. This is helpful to make sure forms are filled out as correctly as possible. For this example, we're going to use a check box to make sure that a check box is selected. If you don't already have a form tag in your page, the Add Form Tag dialogue box will appear.
If you want to create the form tag as you create the box, just click Yes. Now, enter the validation requirements in the Property Inspector. If you want to require that users select a check box, select Required from the Preview States in the Property Inspector. However, before we do, we want to show you how to test your site for errors, as well as how it looks in different browsers so that when you upload it to the Internet it is ready for your visitors to see it.
Dreamweaver's site reporting features allow you to find problems with links, empty tags, untitled documents, and other errors that are important to fix. When you use the site reporting feature, Dreamweaver will generate a report for you to review. From the Report On dropdown list, choose an option.

It's impossible to test your site on your own, without Adobe's help, unless you have several computers with different operating systems and browsers.
Adobe BrowserLab lets you text your web pages in the most common browsers to make sure your site looks good to whoever is viewing it. When you use BrowserLab, you'll see the results in a screenshot that has previews of each page in each browser.
You can also test your site in different browsers using the Document Toolbar. It sounds like a complicated term, but it's not. It is simply the method you'll use to transfer files from your computer to the web.
If you've ever copied a large file from one location on your computer to another, then this won't be totally foreign because FTP does the same thing — except it copies your website files to your website on the Internet. All you have to do is set up your FTP with a little information. Once you have this information, it's time to set up an FTP server.
After you have added this information, click Test to try it out. If the test was successful, Dreamweaver will tell you so. If not, double-check your login information and ftp address. The Files panel gives you a quick and easy way to manage and transfer files to and from your remote server.
What's more, Dreamweaver can automatically compare your local and remote folders and add and delete files where necessary. Notice that there are two drop-down menus at the top. The one on the left is called the Site menu.
It allows you to choose a site and view all of the files associated with it. It also gives you access to all of the files on your computer. The Drop-down menu on the right is called the Sites Files view. This option allows you to see the files associated with your site in that directory.
For instance, if you select Local view, you will see the files that reside in the site folder on your computer. Remote view would let you see the files in your remote folder.

The get button retrieves files from your remote site, and the put button transfers files from your computer to your remote site. In the Files panel, select a site and choose Remote View. Dreamweaver will automatically connect to your site and you will see all of the files on your server. Now select the files you'd like to copy and click the Get button.
