What can I use instead of frames? by Esteis 2006-06-22 07:14:50
I've got a set of webpages on a website, all with the same header and content menu, but with different stuff in the content area.

In the past, I would have handled this with frames, but I've come to see how annoying those are to the user.

Now, I could include the menu and header in every file, but that means that when I add a new menu entry, I'll have to update every file.

Is there any way to write the header/menu stuff only once, yet have it included in every file, without using frames?
