- Same head/menu in more pages. Editing once.
- Posted by Fons on July 14th, 2003
If I want a site with 5 pages but all with the same menu
(links to the other pages, email-address etc.). Is there
a possibility to make some HTML-macro ? So define the
menu once. Put it on Internet once. And all the pages do
have some include-instruction to include the menu/head.
So they all do have the same menu with the links. Or
do I have to change the head in all the pages myself if I
want to change it ? It's possible with a picture, but with
some HTML-code ? Or do I have a possibility to make some
macro in e.g. Frontpage. Then you get the same code 5 times
but Frontpage takes care of the copies.
Thanks,
Fons

Gazing into my crystal ball I observed "Fons"

You can do what is known as Server Side Include. Your host needs to
support it, either using SSI, ASP or PHP. The syntax is pretty simple:
<!--#include file="menu.inc" -->
If your host does not support SSI, or does not support any type of
scripting, you can use preprocessor.
You might get suggestions about doing a menu in Javascript, but that is a
bad idea, because visitors without Javascript will not be able to navigate,
especially search engines.

Thanks for the help; I'll try it. I'm a Pascal programmer and was surprised
that this wasn't a simple one-of-the-first-things-to-learn.
