How to automatically change all menus?

What about css? Would only work on graphic menu buttons, as I think, but you would just have to replace the graphic in the css-file and there you go...
Or is that a stupid suggestion...you pros out there?

Try this, it is an Iframe (javascript) which is not as icky as html frames.

you've missed out the ending ; after the end )

change it to

<?php include('menu.htm'); ?>

it could also be that your file is in the wrong place.....could you tell us what error message you are getting?

hmm also you can use any editor you want and which knows to replace in multiple files. Like EditPlus - this is what I use, or Macromedia DW.

Take the menu that you want to change in all the page and put it in the 'find' field, after that, take the new menu and put it in the 'replace' field and click replace all.

But this is not a solution... the best solution is include method, (php or SSI) you can change the menu anytime you need without any headake

Before you start using PHP make sure your hosting company SUPPORTS php. If it doesn't support that it should support the MS version which is ASP. The last thing you wanna do is create a site in either ASP/PHP and find out that your hosting company doesn't support it.

What? Nobody likes my idea?

Actually, your iframe tags are the only thing that worked for me. Everything that was suggested, in terms of PHP, didn't work. The iFrame thing did work, but I am afraid there will be problems in the future.



Did that. Didn't work either. I am not getting any error messages. It just doesn't show up.



That's not it. All files are in the same directory.

What kinds of problems? The only valid argument I've heard against IFrames is that they are not supported in Netscape. But that's versions <= 4 so you're ok with everybody except those running windows 3.11 and below, sorry.

I am afraid it will work like frames meaning that it will show up as frames, but work like it. What I hate about frames is that when you link to a website, you only link to the MAIN frame (or whichever frame you're in), not the whole page. That completely messes up things, because you have to hand out different URLs just for people to get to your website, or a link to the Index page.

The IFrame is closer to an "include" statement. The nice thing is you don't need an html page just for frame declarations like html frames. It's a lot neater.

Ok, using Frontpage this is easy to solve:

make one page with just the menu, menu.htm

then put this line in every page you want to display the menu.

<!--webbot bot="Include" U-Include="menu.htm" TAG="BODY" -->

Now you only have to maintain one html page for the menu, each time you change something in menu.htm the changes are also saved in the other pages.

REMINDER: if you change menu.htm, you still have do upload all pages with this specific line to your web site.

This line is only used by Frontpage...

Good Luck
