HTML - Update Defined Content Section Across Multiple Pages?
Hello,
I'm helping a friend redesign a film website. Is there a way of making an area of content (such as a set of links in a menu bar) updatable so that if it is updated it will change across all the specified pages on the site? I am vaguely aware of templates in Dreamweaver CS3 and I think this would provide the solution, but my friend uses Frontpage and will be editing and creating content in that. Is there a way of using CSS to update areas of content? I know how to use CSS to update values like fontcolour and background images, but not areas of actual HTML content. Thanks for any help you provide. Similar TutorialsHello everyone. I'm working on a website and I'm not quite sure how to do something. I'm hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. The site will have content on each product page such as special deals, recent news or announcements. Each product page will also have their contact information. Now what I need to figure out is this. Since the "recent news" , "Special deals" and "Announcements" will be on every product page. I need to find a way to those things on every page at once. Just to show an example. Here's one of the practice pages: http://sbultimate.com/newsite/toeswitch.html If you scroll down you'll see the sample of Announcements, specials and news. That's the part I'm talking about. If any of you can help me learn how to do this I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks. Ron NewB question I'm sure and this seems like such a basic thing. I searched but didn't find this. I'm building a new site with a sidebar on the right. The page layout is the same for all six pages. In the sidebar I want to have latest news and events; dynamic content basically. I'd like to have that content in a separate file so that I only have to edit it in one place and then have it show up on each of the six pages. I'm relearning HTML and learning css and javascript now, but I can't seem to find a good way to do this. I've looked at link and iframes and I'm wondering if a script would be the way to go. I wanted to ask you all - what's the best way to do this that's standards compliant (XHMTML) Thanks for your help. Cheers, Maggie I am working on making a website, and learning as I go. I have been trying to figure out how I would make links and images appear in the same section of many different pages using code. Is this possible in HTML/CSS, which are the only languages I have any experience in. If you need anymore information, let me know and I'll add more details. hi guys. i am builder my sister a small website for her cat breeding hobby, it has about 6 or 7 pages, on each page i have the news section sat on the side of the page under the links. what im wanting to know is. is there a way i can add some code to the HTML for the section where the news is now to make it so i can update it from a text file so i dont have to update the news on all 7 pages individualy and can just edit the text file upload it to the server hit refresh on the page and its done thanks in advance I'm working on rebuilding a site to make all of the pages uniform for a friend of mine. I'm using Microsoft Web Expression 3 and trying to make a DWT to base the rest of the pages off of, but every time I try and save it, it tells me "no content region defined." I've looked on the help file and it says to put this in the HTML code for the table: <--BeginEditable--> <--EndEditable--> but it still gives the error. I just put a table with 3 columns: the 1st being the nav buttons, middle being what I want to be the editable area, and the 3rd is just links to their other pages. Can you make just the middle column editable? If not, what about the whole table? The sites aren't online right now because we have to rebuild the entire office (she has a rack of 10 servers she's not using and still outsources the hosting to someone else. Working on changing that) I attached a screenshot - and here's the code for it: HTML Code: <div id="Body" title="Chattin' It Up"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 953px;

Thanks in advance aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa In the Optional zones only one of my zones will update! I save the template and it's fine but the rest of my pages won't update!! What gives?? swingrays Hello everyone, New to this forum, hoping I can get some help. I am somewhat new to HTML, so I'm running into roadblocks every once in a while, most of which I've gotten through myself. I have a problem with an iFrame I want to use. I need to find a way to have an iFrame jump to a section of a page that I want to display. I am building a website for a hockey team. The URL is http://web.mac.com/chris.ducasse/for...a/gameday.html you will see an iFrame that embeds a page from "pointstreak.com" I want the iFrame to automatically jump down to the "scoreboard" section. Is this possible? If not, is there a way to get rid of the scroll bars for ALL browsers? I want to thank everyone in advance for their help, glad to be a part of this forum, looking forward to learning a lot! I have a lot of content on a page, and it is being added to every day. Because of the constant adding, the page becomes longer & longer. Instead of this happening, is there a script I could use that would make the content AUTOMATICALLY move to a new page when neccessary? Example: Page 1 can only have 30 tables. Someone adds 5 more tables to page one- CAUSING the older tables to be moved to another page. I can make the pages(page 1, page 2, page 3) beforehand, but is there a script that will let the content automatically go from page 1 to page 2 when page 1 is overflowing? Is the ANY way I could do this? Through PHP? or even Javascript? I'm not sure how to explain this, but I hope someone can help me or point me in the right direction. I'd like to have a small side column on my website with content such as recent updates. Ideally, I'd like to be able change just one file and have that reflected on every page. Right now, I have to go through and update each page manually but I know there must be an easier way to do this. I'm thinking this is somehow related to RSS feeds but I don't really know much about them and I'm not sure if that's what I'm actually looking for. Can anyone offer any advice/tutorials/suggestions/help for a way to do this? The site I'm working on is located here and the section that I would like to be able to change that right column ("Recently Updated"). Is it possible to have a asp control in the content section of a content page of a master page? If not what is a possible work around short of remaking the entire page? Ok I'm really new to this so bear with me.. I just started my file hosting website, and I have a ****ton of videos.. I really don't want to create thousands of individual pages so that users could view the videos. Is there a simple way to view each video in a page with my logo on top, tabs on the side, etc. without creating tons of individual pages? (NSFW!) ex: - family unfriendly link removed - Hey im new to this forum and i want to ask is there a way to edit multiple pages of a website and once. because i have a site with hundreds of pages and i want to add some ads and banners and i don't want to manually go and add to each page. Hi, I have one main problem when trying to make a site. If I want to make a side content bar and put it on every page, the only way I know of doing that so far is by either copying and pasting onto every page or by frames. I keep hearing that frames are bad, I'm not quite sure why. If I copy and paste, then when I want to add something different to the contents I would need to alter each page which could take forever. Is there another way I can do this? Thank you for any help you can provide I have the same sidebar which I would like to use on more then one page of my website. I don't want to have to put it on each page individuality because this is a pain whenever I have to edit it. What I want to be able to do is have one file that is the html of my sidebar and have that show up on each of my pages. But I don't know how to do that. Anyone else know? At the moment I have my sidebar located in a directory above the pages I want it in. Side bar: http://www.invader-stu.com/holland/g...y_sidebar.html A few of the pages I want to put it in: http://www.invader-stu.com/holland/g...s/cartoons_01/ http://www.invader-stu.com/holland/g...s/cartoons_02/ http://www.invader-stu.com/holland/gallery/comics/ http://www.invader-stu.com/holland/g...mics/comic_01/ http://www.invader-stu.com/holland/g...mics/comic_02/ Can someone show me how to make multiples pages on a websites? For example, I want to make a "Home" page, a "Gallery" page, and other pages within my website that when people click on, say... the "Gallery" page, it takes them to that particular page and when they press "Home", it brings them back to the main page. Can it all be done with html or you need Dreamweaver to do that? Thanks. Help! I figured that this was the sort of question that someone with good web knowledge would be able to answer with ease, so thought that this site was the best way to go. I have pretty basic html skills, and what I do know is self taught. Therefore, my coding isn't great! basically, I have this site: www.mallymalcz.co.uk Which has the same layout for most of its pages, with the same navi bar and background. However, the only way that I could think of achiving this look, was to have multiple pages, with the same code but slightly different content. As a consequence, every time you go to a page, it has to load the whole thing. I was wondering how I change it so that clicking on a different page will only load 'what has changed' i.e. text, so that the images don't need to load each time and the site is more seamless. Like for instance, most sites, where the top of the page/navigation remains, but the rest of the content is replaced when links are followed. Does that make sense? I wondered whether CSS is the answer (I haven't tried using them yet). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Hello, I'm starting off. I have done a little before. I have tinkered around with html and css. I wanted to know if there is a way to have one main page with the template filling the surrounding the page, and then have the inner page be dynamic. This way I only would have one web page, and every link would change the center. What can i research to accomplish this, other than frames. unless that is the only way to do it. Would other scripting languages help, like php? Please point me in the right direction to do this with any examples or topics to research. Than you in advance! Hi, hopefully this is in the right forum.. I have some text at the top of every page in my site, and I wanted to know if I could edit the text on one page, and have it appear that way on every other page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Hi all, I have a sidebar on my site that I want to put a latest news section in and I want it to be the same in all pages at my site. My problem being that I don't want to update all the pages in the site every time I update the latest news section. I'm wondering if there is any way (other than frames) to 'link' to a separate file in which I change the content every time I update the news and then all pages are updated accordingly. I've thought about using a MySQL database to hold news content and then use php to retrieve it but this seems like overkill given that I am confident there is probably an easier way? Any thoughts?
