Re: import text using CSS?

iframe?

Would it not be better to actually do dynamic includes... or using 
Dreamweaver's Library items?

I use, rather TRY to use Dreamweaver templates for sites, but if I cannot do 
that, then I use LIbrary items.  This allows for me to write the code once (as 
in a copyright footer, or nav bar or similar page feature common on many of the 
site's pages, and have it update all at once

I maintain a billiard catalog site that has close to 400 pages.   Without using 
templates and library items I'd have lost my mind.  They act very similar to 
SSI and actually, in my humble opinion, are easier to manage when using 
dreamweaver.

I suppose I could be more HTML edititor independent by using SSI, but hey... I 
like DW and all the features it offers me to improve my productivity.
