Well at my site GetBleach.com I have a navigation menu at the right and I want to add something new to the navigation menu... How do I add that to all the current html pages on my website? I don't want to go through each page and copy and paste thousands of times .

Layers maybe?

I know a few websites I have done recently I have used layers for navigation and sub menus.

Where this is

code:

---

<h2>Navigation</h2>
<div id="spidnav">
<a href="index.html">Home</a>
<a href="forums">GetBleach Forums</a>
<a href="epicfights.html">Bleach Epic Battles</a>

---

Add

code:

---

<a href="your_page.html">Title Name</a>

---

Add that to all of your html pages

Alternatively you could have one index.php with all of those pages in it but you would need to know PHP.

Otherwise There is no other easy way.

Napbree do you take me for stupid? I just said I don't want to add it to all my html pages. sheesh.

edit: I obviously made the website so I would obviously know how to do it this way T_T, you just want +1 post count...

If you have php, make one page with all the navigation menu in it and then use

code:

---

<? include("navigation.php"); ?>

---

where you want the navigation to be

Don't be so fucking rude.
I just attempted to help you, the least you could do is show some gratitude.

The way you have done it you are going to have to include a php file or make just one index.php with all of the pages in it and include the header and the footer.

The way spunky love muff showed you would take even more time, becuase you would have to rename your files to be .php.

If you want to do it in normal HTML then you always have the option of creating the Navigation area or editing it using a common Javascript document.  This method is by far not the easiest, and many people don't seem to appreciate the use of Javascript, but it will work and give you the result you are after.

code:

---

var element = getElementById('spidnav');
element.innerHTML = element.innerHTML + '<a href="another_page.html">Click this link for yet another page to go to</a>';

Markee, don't forget you're "document.(...)"!

code:

---

var element = document.getElementById('spidnav');

Maybe I just assumed it was encapsulated within a with statement .  Also, after having a look at your source code again, it still won't stop you from having to edit all the files because there isn't a javascript file with them yet anyway so you'd need to add that in and you would have to make sure that the function occurred either on load of the body or at the very least after the creation of the DIV.

How do i make a navigation bar in php?
