How to lock portions of the screen

[Chessie2]

I'm new to Contribute, having just downloaded a trial version. The software
seems geared toward the user who will be making modifications to websites, not
an administrator. How do you, as an administrator/site designer, lock certain
portions of the screen so that users can't fiddle with them? Does this only
work with Dreamweaver templates?

The sites I design do NOT live on a server of mine. Each customer finds their
own host, so I cannot control access that way.

I also build very basic, barebones sites using tables and external style
sheets, and do all of my HTML coding from scratch. I do not use Dreamweaver or
any other WYSIWYG HTML packages, so I don't work with templates. Can such locks
be implemented using my style of site design?

Thanks for any info. I searched the Adobe site but couldn't find an answer.

You could try faking a Dreamweaver template by copying DW template tags (i.e.
HTML comments) into your source pages. But DW is a great page and site building
tool and you can always try a trial version of it.

Thanks Tom. Maybe I'll try a free download of DW to see what these tags look like.
