Hi,

I'm working on a new menu (tool-bar) in my site. Here it is:

I would like to know if I can use it as a function in all other site pages. What I mean is to avoid of copying the menu code to each page.
I know it's possible if I'd use PHP - but since I'm using HTML - is it possible? and if so - how?

Thanks in advance!

Put the menu code in a text file and put an include at the top of each page to call it.

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">[/URL]
<html>

<head>
<title>Page Title</title>

<!--  #include file="navigation.txt" --> 

rest of page

navigation.txt look like:

Code: 
stylesheet link
scripts
</head>
<body>
nav

Hi

Just a couple of words in addition to BigRed1212's suggestion.

In case you want to search for more about it, that is called SSI ( Server Side Includes ). So your web server has to be configured to parse the requested files for such code.

The SSI syntax is mostly common across web servers, but occasionally may differ. Generally there must be no space between the opening comment and the hash mark ( # ) :
Code: 
<!--#include file="navigation.txt" -->

Feherke.
