Hey people,

I am just starting out with html and I only know the basics at this
early stage. I was wondering if somebody here might be able to tell me
the correct coding of a site menu (so the menu will appear on every
page of the site without me having to code all of them)?

What page do I put this coding on? Is there anything else I should
know?

Thanks for any help.

Jack

i would normally post a link on how to include one file in another but
the site is <sob/> dead!

what you're looking for is some server side scripting to include the
common parts of a page with the other parts of the page before its sent
to the visitor.

with php you could use 'include "my-menu.ext";' where you want the menu
to appear in your documents.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php

when someone asks for the page the server sticks in the stuff contained
in the my-menu.ext file where you said to put it and then sends the
complete page to the visitor.

when you make changes to your menu you just edit my-menu.ext.

As you will see, if you 'look around the web', some
people don't even seem to know the basics, even at
a very late stage

Every page where it's needed(likely all of them).

Don't top post.
HTML is for markup, CSS is for presentation.
