Hi, I am working with a dreameaver template. However, it shown the text of the body in the left side bar.

I had attached a screenshoot.

This looks like a Dreamweaver template/layout issue rather than a browser bug. posted the template HTML and a screenshot showing the body text appearing in the left column; correctly asked whether it was checked in a browser. The fastest way to narrow this down is to confirm whether the text is duplicated in the source or simply being visually placed in the wrong cell by the CSS/layout.

Quick diagnostic steps

  • Open the page in a modern browser and use Inspect Element to find the DOM node that contains the stray text. If the text node appears twice in the DOM, the template or page file is duplicating content. If it appears once but is nested under the sidebar cell, it’s a layout/markup problem.
  • View the raw HTML (View Source) to see whether table/td/tr tags are balanced and whether editable/template content was accidentally placed in the sidebar.
  • Temporarily disable the site CSS (or open the page in a "disable styles" mode) to see the structural HTML. If the content jumps back to the correct column with CSS off, the problem is CSS (floats/positioning/widths).

Common culprits and practical fixes

  • Misplaced editable region in the template: make sure the editable area for the body is inside the main content cell, not the sidebar. Back up the template before editing.
  • Unclosed table cells/rows: validate the HTML or manually check for missing </td>, </tr>, or </table> tags. Broken table markup will shuffle content into the wrong cell.
  • Float/clear or width issues: a floated sidebar without a proper clearing strategy can let other content wrap into it. As a quick test, add a clearing rule to the main content wrapper.

Example quick test (apply only for troubleshooting)

#mainContent { overflow: auto; /* or try: clear: both; */ }

If the problem persists after those checks, produce a minimal stripped-down HTML file (template removed, just the table layout and one paragraph) and test that. Include which file you edited (the .dwt or the generated HTML) and whether the duplication appears before or after applying the template—those details will pinpoint whether the issue is in the template or the page instance.

Did you look at it in a browser?
