Changeable Menu

I've learned from experience that it is easyier to place a menu for a website in a seperate frame so if a new link is added to the menu all that has to be changed is one document.

However most mainstream websites these days clearly do not have their menus in a seperate frame as you can see that the menu scrolls with the page etc. Can anyone give me any tips or point me in the right direction to learn how to make these menus that are easily changed without having to edit every single page.

I use PHP includes but you can also use SSI and ASP includes depending on what type of server you're on.

Lissa has more on it. Smiling

I agree, includes are the best way to do this, you can also code it so you can edit your menus on the browser...
