Linking and exporting to an external HTML file

[GTony]

I'm creating a template in HTML for my website, down the left I am having a section for banner links and advertisements. When I want to change the banners, instead of having to change them in the template and then update all links to the template, I would much prefer to have a link from the template to another HTML page (ads.htm) which just imports the data and banners into the template. This way I only need to change the ads.htm page and I don't have to touch the template. Does anyone know how to do this?!
Thanks for any help in advance.

Do you have access to any server-side languages, or to any facilities to use server-side includes in your files? That would be the best method, IMHO.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Can you explain a bit more on what you mean by server side includes and languages? I will them be able to find out!

They all work for me - with the execption of the O'Reilly one. Maybe you are having 'net problems?

I've just been on to a few websites that talk about SSI's so I have a much better idea about what I can do now - if I get any other problems I'll give you a shout but thanks for your help.
