I am open to ideas of easyer was of doing this also... Im not the best with codeing but my teacher sees me as the school geek and i was roped into doing it. Thank you for your help

Can you use PHP? If yes, then you could use include() or require(), take a look at these articles:

Good luck!

I don't know what there server will allow or will not. That is why i want to keep it simple. I just want to know how to display Links and Text in a simple java array. I have my array defined

var news=new Array()

news[1]=' news one'

news[2]=' two '

news[3]=' what ever'

var whichquote=Math.floor(Math.random()*(quotes.length))
document.write(quotes[whichquote])

i have stolen this java from a random quote gen. and i want to make it display array 1 through what ever number i need. And can i add

in this array or would it need to look something like this

Try this to see if you have php. Open any editor and type this in (paste).

PHP Code:


<?php

echo "You have php!";

?>

Then save it as php.php and put it on your server then open that page if you get the message You have php! then you have php.

Yes, some form of server-side scripting is the way to go. You can do it with Javascript, but it is complex and/or non-standard, and will present a problem for users without Javascript enabled. It would be better to maintain it on each page yourself than to alienate a portion of your users. You could also generate the pages yourself on your development machine, using server-side scripting or a tool like GTML or the page template model found in tools like Dreamweaver.

The URL you showed above suggests that you do not have PHP, but your server does appear to have FrontPage extensions enabled. These will allow a very basic form of server-side scripting. You could also check for SSI with a test.shtml page:

Code:

<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR" -->

This should display your IP address. If it doesn't display anything, you don't have SSI.
