If I have a large section of code that will appear on every page of my site is there any way to put it in an external document so I only have to update it ounce instead of on everypage.

Hey James,

What you're looking for is called a server-side include. You can do this with .shtml (server-side HTML), ASP, PHP, or possibly other languages (I don't know).

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/ssi.html

You can skip through the setup stuff and go right to the include parts.

Isn't there a way to do this just by linking to an external html document like how you can link to a external css document.

Afraid not, it's not that simple.

ok i found another site that shows how to use server-side includes that I understood better, I will try these and see how it goes for me.

EDIT: Yay it works.
