HELP! CSS to make side menu? How do I instert css into page? HELP!
Ok, I have a website that i'm building with about 25 pages, and I keep on having to change the side navigation bar, and then I have to copy and paste it on each page to update it. IS THERE A WAY FOR ME TO ONLY UPDATE IT ONCE AND IT UPDATES TO ALL THE PAGES?

Is the answer css? or i-frames(or whatever it's called)

If so, then how would I do this?! PLEASE HELP!

code? I have no code.
All i have is a table... Here is my problem, I have a page, that has a navigation system over to the left in a table. I want to have that table on a seperate page, and to have my website grab that page with the table on it, because it's heck trying to copy and past the table into 25 different pages everytime I make a change to the nagivation inside the table. I want it so all I have to do is edit this table on a page, and then it updates for ALL of my 25 pages. Does that make sense? I don't know if it's css or template or what. I have no idea how to do this, but it would save me TONS AND TONS of time, so if anyone can help, thanks.

then frames is one way

</head>
<frameset frameborder="2" framespacing="0" border="2" cols="198,*" rows="*">
<frame marginwidth="3" marginheight="3" src="menu.htm" name="menu" scrolling="auto" frameborder="1">
<frame marginwidth="3" marginheight="3" src="content.htm" name="text" frameborder="1">
</frameset>
<noframes></noframes>
</frameset>
<body>

put that in seperate html doc and menu in doc called menu.htm and the content.htm will now be your main or first page links in menu will have to target text eg

<A href="page.html" target="text">Show menu</a>

go to here for example

but my page has the navigation close to the center, so it cant be frames, what about those i-frames or whateverd? I need to place it pretty much in the middle of the page.

Just throw in an Iframe into all your 25 pages, as many have mentioned.

[pages 1 through 25] :

<!-- start table -->
<table>

<tr>

<!-- left body -->
<td>left body</td>

<!-- center navigation -->
<td><iframe src="navigation.html"></iframe></td>

<!-- right body -->
<td>left body</td>

</tr>

</table>
<!-- end table -->


[navigation.html] :

<html>
<!-- navigation with global hrefs here -->
</html>

Work out. Search google for 'iframe' for more info.

Hey thanks for the help, But I decided to use iframes,

<iframe width="132" height="600" src="Side1.htm" align=left frameborder=0 scrolling="no"> </iframe>

and then in the link of my navigation put

<td onmouseover="bgColor='#d8d8d8'" onmouseout="bgColor='#eeeeee'" bgcolor="#eeeeee">
<div align="left"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><A HREF="AimIcons.htm" target="_top" style="text-decoration:none">&nbsp;»
Aim Icons</a></font></div></td>

Frames of any type are inappropriate for this purpose. Appropriate technologies are server side includes such as in PHP, Python, PERL, or the web server itself. For a tutorial on SSI look at Apache docs.

cheers,

yes server side scripting would be another way of doing things but i feel you should crawl before walking and dakinesoul may not of have server side scripting on his hosting package.

Using (i)frames to stand for server-side-includes leads to problems. The frame content is a separate document, and usually not read by search engines. Since it's not read, the links are not indexed.

The frame is a client-side-include. If the browser does not support frames, the user will not have access to your links. Most browsers do support frames, but most assistive technology UAs don't. So, your site is not accessible to the handicapped. This may create legal problems. In the U.S., some courts have held that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to web sites.

I suppose that some free hosts might not configure for simple SSI, but I cannot imagine using any paid host, no matter how cheap, that did not provide it.

cheers,

gary
