You'll have to use either javascript (not sure how) or severside scripting to do this

You could probably just use a textarea also and limit the size, but isn't the correct or fastest way to do it

like busy said, if you have php you could use the include or require function

Right !

Im a little confused !
The website im needing it for is http://squirms.atspace.com/index.htm (Its A Bit Rubbish At The Moment)
I want to get external text for the bit that says News.

Can i use a IFRAME in that section ?
Or is there an easyer way of doing it like just with a line of html ?

Thanks for your help
