Adding Or Embedding A New Menu

Hi,

I have a new template, and a new separate menu; the code has been validated on both. I'm having trouble adding the new menu to the new template, replacing the menu that came with the template.

What I would like to do is embed it if possible so when I add content I won't have to change the menu on 400 different pages; also this is a nice menu with lots of code in the html.

Is it possible to embed a menu from a root file with a small code?

If not how do I add the huge code to my template? I have tried putting it on the top but the drop down doesn't work and parts of it are obscured by the content on my page. If I put the menu about half way down my page it works alright, but I need it on the top.

(I tried to post the urls below but the forum rules prevent new members from doing so.)

I know this is a lot of info, but I hope you can help me, if so I really appreciate it. Thanks,

Dave

There's no real cut and dried way to include a file using only html. You will need to use some sort of server side include.

The syntax will vary depending on whether your'e using IIS or Apache as your web server.

You can use Javascript for the includes as well, but if someone is not using Javascript it won't work.

Using HTML5 also provides another way to do it:

Thanks, elkehinze,

The IIS includes don't seem to work with my free site, so I've decided to just post the menu on each page and keep it limited to the primary indexes so I won't have to change it often.
