I am looking to create various pages - even across various web sites - that I want to be able to keep "changable" areas of information - such as contact info, disclaimers, shipping info, company policies, etc. I want to run this for multiple pages - even across various sites. I am looking to reference an external source that can be changed - even if it is another HTML or TEXT file. I was reading about <IFRAME>, but it appears that this is an attribute of standard FRAMES, and am trying to avoid the inherint problems with frames on certain sites, browser issues, etc.

Is there another method or someway to acheive this within CSS? I have looked into the CONTENT :AFTER/:BEFORE attributes, and had no luck with that either. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
 
CSS definitely not.
use SSI if your host supports it and iframes if not. They are NOT an attribute of frames.

you could also use a database if the host supports server-side scripting

Trying to keep things simple. I'll look more into iframes. Doesn't SSI require a compiler/scripting language like Perl/CGI?
 
SSI does not need a server-side language to work, only pre-requisite is the the server is configured for SSI (.shtml)

see SSI Developer the owner is also a member here cian
