How to have something standard on every page

[Chrissirhc]

In my website I want every page to have the same set of links down the side. Would the best way to do this be to have a javascript file with lots of document.write(statements) in it that I could reference in every html document.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Using SSI to include the html with the links would probably be the easiest way to solve the problem. DO a search for SSI or "server side includes". Tracy Dryden

I had quick look at it and it doesn't look nice. I may just stick to .js. But the only thing I need to know if its alright to create javascript with javascipt.

Ignore this last post it doesn't make sense.

It does make sense, and I believe it will work

document.write(&quot;<script>function meow(){return true;}</script>&quot;

If you have a javascript file that you want to reference in lots of documents, save it as a separate file (without the script tags) and include it like this:

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot; src=&quot;mystuff.js&quot;></script>

Can you reference an external file from an external file?

menu.js:
document.write(&quot;<script src=\&quot;rollover.js\&quot;></script>&quot;

I know you can write script to a document (via document.write in a external .js), but i don't know if you can document.write a call to an external script. No time to try it now!

Sorry

I would say use server side includes...all you have to do is put

<!-- #include file=&quot;whatever.htm&quot; -->

And in that section, where you have that include statement, it will put the htm file of your menu in there...dont hassle with javascript...do it the easy way.

I agree with WhiteTiger. I use SSI for my left menus as well. Makes it VERY easy and less clutter on my page. Mary
