Ok you all know i been designing my blog, ok well it gets so confusing trying to update the content in the middle of all that div's and stuff, so i was wondering is there a way to LINK a page with lots of text on to that location? not making any sence am i? well ill try explain better.

<div id="content">content here</div> / ok this is the content of my blog.

-- i want it like this

<div id="content">"link to the writing on a different file"</div>

Contentfilehere.html

basically i think you can do it in php im not 100% sure. or arnt i making sence :< i cant explain it

Yes, PHP.

<?php include("relative_path/filename.inc") ?>

If it's only contents are HTML, you don't need to do any special whizbang.

Start reading up:

http://php.net/manual/en/

...And direct your questions to the right forum.

If you've got a mess of div's, you're being rough.

Try descendant selectors to get things working right, e.g.

#mainSection .subsection p { attr: value; }

Would provide a style to all paragraphs within any element with a class of 'subsection' that is itself contained within an element with an id of 'mainSection' - more about that in the CSS2.1 specs, which will definitely be in the resource list: http://www.w3.org/Style

thankyou

I would agree with using PHP myself, but couldn't you also use an IFRAME?

php would be the best way to do that.. if you use an iframe the search engines won't spider the contents of the iframe so it won't get indexed.. just remember if you do that include file as posted above you have to change the extention from html to php so if it's index.html change to index.php and the file can have any extention .inc, .html, .php, .txt whatever you want there.... persists code is good minus a semicolon it should be
<?php include("relative_path/filename.inc"); ?>

good work though...

when i add the " <?php include("info.php"); ?> ", it breaks my html divs, and then it doesnt work ^^, what going on?

Bump ^^

Did you make sure to rename your page to: index.php instead of index.html

The file that contains the php must be named: filename.php

Also you might want to check if your host even has php, make a new file and type this in it: <?php phpinfo();?>

then save it as phpinfo.php

Open that and it should show a ton of options on your webserver, basically the php configuration of your server and the server information. If this works you have php installed on your host if it doesnt come up then your host does not have php installed.

awesome! it works the php include is really a better way of adding content. faster than sorting through all the code to find the text before i can normally edit it
