Default Help with side menus - 08-31-2003 , 08:36 PM






Hello all,

This is concerning my webpage for my local Scrabble club:

http://home.midsouth.rr.com/nsaclub581

Other than on the main page, the navigational menu is on the upper left
side. So I have this menu as part of EVERY page on my site. The thing
is, if there is a need to change the menu (which I need to right now),
I'd have to go in EVERY page and make the change.

What might be a nifty CSS way to manage this (withouth having to
relegate to frames or something? I thought I remember coming across
something wherein you could put all the information for a recurring
piece of the page (such as a menu) in the .CSS file itself.

Much thanks in advance!

Actually, it's
http://home.midsouth.rr.com/nsaclub581/
with the trailing slash; the above address only makes the server issue a
redirect to it. Leaving out such trailing slashes is a bad idea, as it
makes the server do unnecessary work.

How about using server-side includes or PHP?

Not CSS, SSI.
