Re: help with navigation

Hi,
I am building a standard web page with the navigation links on the left hand
side.
But when i update one of the links i need to update that change in every page.

What is the best way to automatically update this navigation so that it
changes all the pages in one step?
In the past i would use frames, but i always hear this is bad news.

Can anyone offer any advice with this.

Two options.

1) use a template

2) use a (SSI) Server Side include. For this you would need your site to
be hosted on a server which suports a language like php, asp, cold
fussion etc.

The advantage of using option two is that you would only have to upload
one page to your server (the menu file) after a change to the
navigation, whereas you would have to upload all the pages if you use a
template.
