One change to change em all...

Ok as far as I can tell the great thing about frames was that if you changed the content of the frame it would show up on every single page with that frame...

Now we are all being pushed into using CSS and away from frames and even tables...

Well the problem I'm having is that I have a menu bar and a navigation bar on my page. Basically, when I change an item on one I want it to update/show on all pages with that menu or navigation bar.

Changing each page individually seems so wrong, what is the correct way please???

Use some server-side way of composing parts into a whole page. Server-side includes (SSI) is the simplest of such technologies, but of course every server-side scripting language supports it, too. (ASP, PHP, ...)

Thx for that, I think I have seen PHP used to do this (like in blogs)...

Yep, PHP is the method i use, creating one standard template, then pushing the content upon that.

Easy, and a great method of using PHP for CMS (Content Management System)
