Quick Question

is there a way to change a certain thing on multiple pages? for example if i wanted to change my logo on every page is there a way to do this without editing each individual page?

Python · May 2004

yes. there are a couple of ways:

SSI - Server side includes
This way you would put your top logo into a file on its own and then include that file into all your other files. that way when you edit the header file it changes on every page. all your pages must end with .shtml and your server must support ssi!

PHP Includes ** Dev Dreams uses this!
This is the same as SSI apart from the fact that your server needs to support PHP

if you want help with doing the above just ask..

If you don't have SSI, PHP, CGI or any other server-side technology you could just put your header between (for example)





then use a text editor's advanced Regualr Expression search+replace to replace the header in a bunch of files at once.

You can also use CSS.

A change in a CSS file is site wide.

CSS is by far the easiest language to use. for instance:::

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div class="image> </div>
</body>
</html>

and in the css...

.image {
background-image: url(images/filenamegoeshere)
}

It's THAT SIMPLE!!!!!

i like this method myself

i think it depends on how your site is set up you might possibly have to go through all your html pages to effect the change or find a design include file or maybe even something else
