Hi,

I have a website that I want to have news displayed in the left hand column of the layout. This news will often change and the news will be displayed on over 30 different pages. So I want it as one file.

I tried using an IFRAME but sometimes it does not display the entire Iframe.

I tried using SSI but I don't want to use .shtml extensions and I don'r want to use PHP

Is there any alternative. ASP is an option but would rater try to make SSI or Iframe Work

Thanks in Advance

You can tell your server to parse all .html pages as if they were .shtml or .php (or any other language type). However, if you have static pages, this will cause a heavy load for not much use...

iFrame is not fluid, so you're right, sometime you'll have scroll or not display all the news.

You can also include with JavaScript, but anyone with JavaScript off will not see your news.

How do you want to proceed?
