hey. i was wondering if there is a way to have a webpage that would stay the same. but have another document hosted which would be like the database and parts of the main site would be like the mail merge. so it would read certain parts from the other document...

or like a way to have a site, but the writing which i would like to change is linked in from another html(? ) document. so when i change the html with the wiritng. the main site loads the writing from that document so i can easily change what is written without editing the html for the main site.

sorry if its confusin ill try and explain more just ask about wahat you dont understand.

thanks

You could use an iframe to display  the whole of the other page, or i think you can use an RSS feed to get the text from the other page

hmm
ok, thanks. ill have to read up on that. any other ways? iframe? *googles*

An iframe is a specific type of frame, that can hold another page inside it

thanks. ive found a code and what goes where in the code. seems really simple () thanks mate!

I love using iframes in sites. Makes the site a lot quicker and easier to use as well

Just make sure you have the border at '0' lol

or you could use frame sets, but iFrames are better.

It shows a border around the IFrame, which might look ugly in comparison to the rest of your page.

maybe use php-nuke

You can try using Microsoft Frontpage that should do it

learn php maybe....

You can use some simple PHP to include ohter files in pages. You can also use something called SSI. (Google for them)
