We don't use standard_html_header or anything like that.
Our components are very modular and I am not even involved in what the
"data" code does. I'm just producing ZPT templates and someone else picks
them up. It just happens.
My ZPT templates don't have <html> tags. Mostly just a little table.
Therefore I can't really open them in GoLive like you're supposed to be able
to do. Note! the Dreamweaver/GoLive thing is just a little bonus you get.
