scripts on all pages

[heather29926]

How can I make a change or add a script to all pages in website without having to do each one manually?

Thanks

if the same script is being used on all pages
put the script into an external .js file.

Thanks so much for the reply.
I don't know what a .js file is!!
I'm just starting out.

its a javascript file.

you include the script into your page like this

<script type='text/javascript' src='myscript.js'></script>
before the </head>

create a textfile called myscript.js and put your script in it.

Thanks for the explanation...
Say I have a completed site..and I want to go back and put an inline frame on each page....without having to go to each page and do it manually??? Is that possible???
If you have somehow already explained this I apologize..as you can tell..this is very new to me

Thanks

an inline frame is not javascript but html.
and a note its a ie function that wont be visible to netscape and other users.

<iframe name="I1" style="border:2px solid olive" width=540 height=350 src="file.htm"></iframe>

another way to put data from a file into a section of a page is server side includes SSI.

<!--#include file="thisfile.htm" -->

your server has to support it
and the page containing this command may have to be have an shtml extention.

if you go to my page

http://www.jme.com.au/

the contents in the news box is an include, this allows me to use a news posting script that updates a news file so anyone that visits the website gets uptodate news.

Was not aware of the iframe issue..I told you this is all new

This is what I have:

(I know it needs a lot of work...designed in Photoshop..put in Frontpage..I don't know HTML..I'm trying to learn as I go, and of course, eventually want to get away from using Frontpage.)

not bad for a first attempt.
not happy with the fact that on a large monitor the right side of the screen is blank. :-(

I know! I don't know how to fix that yet... That would be something else I need to work on...

you set your table to width 100 percent not pixel

Simple enough...but will I have problems with alignment if I do that? I will have to make some other adjustments..?
Will work on it as soon as I get a chance. I've been very busy!!!
Could you possibly tell me why there is a white space underneath the bottom navigation. I'm not sure how that happened.

Thanks,
Heather
