I'm new to this and I'm having a brain fart right now...

For some reason it completely escapes me now...how to change my banner across the entire site, on all pages. I mean...I don't want to open up every page and change it.

This is assuming that I don't want to change the name of the new banner to the name of the OLD banner.

Also, if I put three hot spots in the banner..but DON'T want to do that to every page that the banner sits on...what's the best approach?

Thank you.

afraid it can't be done, unless you use frames (bad idea) or php include

i recommend php include.

For your banner do this.

Code:

<div class="banner">Whatever Code</div>

and call that 'banner.php', then do this in every page you want the code.

Code:

<html>

<head>BLAH</head>

<body>Some code before

<?php include('banner.php'); ?>

Some code after</body>

</html>

This then takes whatever is inside banner.php and puts in wherever you specify

Thank you for the tip.

To be a bit more precise - it's called a server-side include - no matter what scripting language you use.

Yeah true,

on a different note, frames are still bad
