so have custom css drop down menu , works fine except realized writing menu out across html pages on website become tedious if should update new section website , need add on new tier menu, end billion htmls update 1 simple line of code.
i wondering, there way write menu once (on main page) , call on on other htmls?
i experimented bit objects, iframe, call on dropdown menu written on separate html file , such when menu expands scroll bars , both methods seem embed page. want contents of page behind drop down menu standardly looks right now.
the following unedited page:
http://www.blue-cicada.net/trivial/index.html
and test:
http://www.blue-cicada.net/trivial/test/
not looking there, top image obscured, submenus wont fly out etc, how fix?
im new stuff appreciated.
you want server side really, in day have been http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/server_side_includes, depending on hosting site may still be, though that's unlikely. chances have provision webhost server side, ie php includes say.
if not @ doing javascript client side includes crufty,
if you're hand editing html files , have no access server side technologies well, can have text editor can search , replace across multiple files
update
given comments download notepad++ , read bulk find , replace here 'http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/notepadpp-tricks.html'. can have test page use figuring out 'what want do' , use global find , replace update of 'current' versions of header/menu/whatever new version.
backup files first!
