HTML include inside a table

[ShuckyD]

I have a template i set up for the basis of a website i am doing, but i wanted to make the leftmost cell as my navigation bar. Can i just make a simple html file that only uses a small portion of the screen as my menu and call it from that cell so it loads there. One time for all pages, so if i change links i should only have to change them in one area? If so how would i do it, what code/tag would i need to call another file inside of a cell?


Thanks

I do it using a table, and the <iframe> tag. It's kind of a mess to explain, you'd probably get it faster if you google it.

Basically, you just put the <iframe> inside a cell, name it, and use the target flag in the <a> data.

Here's an example. Made that for my CS101 class back a couple years. Never did get around to fixing the frame issue it has in some browsers, but it was good enough for what it was for. Anyway, if you look at the code for the page, you can see how I did the one cell with the links and target=, and the cell below it with the embedded <iframe> with the name=.

If that's not what you're looking for, then I'm a horrible failure.

I started using static cells with the overflow property recently, as the target didn't change on my new site.

well if you look back in this same forum area (webmastering and programming) you'll see a post from me last night. This is what this template file will be used for, so if you want to be caught up to date on the whole situation just check it out. Instead of using frames/framesets i decided this would probably work out and be better.

I'll take a look at your source to see what you were talking about, but i think its what im trying to do. Let me know what you think of the site im revamping (see other thread)

I guess this is what your referring to:

            <div>
			  <iframe name="frm" src="main.html" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto"></iframe>
			</div>

so i would call something if i put it in a folder called inc like src="/inc/nav.html"
what is your iframe name="frm" all about? Do you just have to name it?
