Hi Ellen,
Sounds like what you're looking to do is template inheritance. You can
most definitely add dynamic bits of code based on individual pages.
Some documentation on the topic can be found here:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/
Basically what I think you'll need is to create a main template and
have your individual page inherit it:
-------------------------------------------------
maintemplate.html:
<html>
<body>
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
-------------------------------------------------
flashpage.html:
{% extends "maintemplate.html" %}
{% block content %}
<script type=javascript src=file.js></script>
<object flash bla bla> </object>
{% endblock %}
-------------------------------------------------
That said, if that doesn't answer your question or it's not clear to
you, my apologies and don't hesitate to question more.
Cheers,
Teren
