    Question Navigation help!

    Hey is there a way for me to make navigation on my site but also make it so I only have to update one point, not have to put each new page in every page I already have made?

    I used two frames for a while but that just got annoying, i also am trying and iframe but how can I make those links effect the whole page?

    here is my site:

    Thanks!

    Don't put your navigation menu in (i)frames. Use PHP to include your menu on every page. If you cannot use it, this may be of useful.

    I don't get that, I tried it with putting my navigation's URL in the src=" box but it doesn't work.

    Can you run through it real quick?

    Then I guess something went wrong. Can you give me the code you tried, or a link to what you tried?

    Using iframes can be easier but you sacrifice your search engine rankings. If that's ok with you, then use iframes, i guess.

    The other way to do it would be to use PHP includes. Here is a tutorial by tech_support on how that's done. This doesn't come with the SEO problems of the first method. However, you do need PHP on your server. This usually isn't a problem unless you're using a free host.
