Re: navigation question

well, you can mimic source code templates with a decent text editor

let's say your current nav bar looks like this --

<ul id="nav">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Products
    <ul>
    <li>Cut&amp;Paste</li>
    <li>Search&amp;Replace</li>
    </ul></li>
</ul>

and then you wanted to change it it to look like this --

<ul id="nav">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Products
    <ul>
    <li>Cut&amp;Paste</li>
    <li>Search&amp;Replace</li>
    <li>Hide&amp;Seek</li>
    </ul></li>
</ul>

in order to make this change, you can cut and paste the html for the new nav
bar into each and every page, on a page-by-page basis, and unless your site
is humungous, this works exceedingly well, despite being somewhat tedious

to make things a little -- actually, a lot -- easier, use a search and
replace utility (my fav: SR by funduc.com)

this is precisely what dreamweaver, frontpage, and i'm sure other source
code editors do in managing pages via templates -- a site-wide search and
replace

so yes, you do have at least one of the methods of effecting site-wide
navigation changes easily without resorting to frames

;o)


are you sure you don't have ssi?  what kind of host are you on?
