Newbie Navigation Question

hi ppl

Happy New Year to one and all.

I hope u can help, i am very new to CSS, what i want to do is have a place in the css file where all the navigation is delt with.

IF u look at my site www.cleancleartidy.co.uk i have 8 other pages i link to (on the left, services, pricing, etc.....) at the mo i have to link them on every page and now i need to change the pages on the whole site, can i do it somewhere in the css file so that it works for all of the pages.

Any help would be great

CSS deals only with the display - if you want to change the way they are displayed all at once then link them to the same external CSS page and change that...

If you are wanting to change the content of the pages, i.e. where the links go,then you'll have to do it manually or add some kind of server side include...

I believe someone asked that question earlier. It can be done by linking to an external JavaScript I think, but I'm not sure how to do it.

Search the forumz for it. I'll look too and post the link if I find it.

Okay,

What I found says that snow is exactly right. "Server Side Includes" (SSI) are what you need to use.

The links in the forumz...

Google "server side includes tutorial" or something like that. That will tell you what to do.

You say your a newbie and SSI are a little more complicated than XHTML or CSS so make sure you have a good knowledge of these before trying to write SSI.

Hope this helped! Happy New Year!

I did a little research and if you're interested in how to do this...

This is a tutorial... http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/ssi/1

Read that tutorial; It will answer most questions you may have.

On my site I used <!--#include virtual="navbar.inc" --> to call up a document ("navbar.inc") with the navigation in it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

There is a sticky at the top of this css forum which has links to two tutorials, one on css driven menus and one on using a template system.

I think you will find these useful.

Work through them and come back with any questions you may have.
