    Default Contribute not letting a template to be used for newpages because of error

    I'm building a website with heavy usage of SSI's, since some of my tags are
    being opened in the main file but are closed in includes (my head tag being
    closed in a header SSI after being opened in the main file) Dreamweaver warns
    me of an error when saving the template, and Contribute refuses to let me use
    this template to create new pages based on the error it finds. Is there a way
    to circumvent this as the error is not an error but part of the design which is
    only seen in part by Contribute since it does not deal with my includes?

    to be able to use Contribute with this, you'll need to edit the template and
    change what's in the includes.

    the head and body tags must be in the template and the child html file, not
    in an include. Contribute/Dreamweaver use them to figure out where in the
    document the cursor is. If they can't find them properly matched, the apps
    throw error messages. Contribute will refuse to edit them- Dreamweaver
    should pop an error when trying to update the pages also.

    rough sketch-

    doctype
    <html>
    <head>
    can use include here, or linked .js files
    </head>
    <body>
    can now use includes, but best if any tags opened in the include are closed
    in it also, such as <table>
    </body>
    </html>
