Hi all. I'm a fairly basic HTML worker, don't know any other language. This is my site: www.andrewgubb. com. A simple text-and-images site, like a blog I suppose except that I'm having more fun doing it just HTML.
This is a detail I've found when building my site. There are elements of all the pages which are common to each, but which I have to change every so often. Opening every single file and copying and pasting the changes is a massive effort, and as the website grows I'm finding I have to more and more. I'd like to find some way of getting round this. What I'd like is to have the variable pieces of the code in seperate files, and be able to refer to those files on each page, so when I change the "variable" files, the change is reflected on all pages.
I've tried frames and iframes and they both have horrible drawbacks. The aestetic quality of the page is ruined, and there is a lot of messing about with different bits of the code to do this or that, which always ends up doing something undesired. In short, way too clunky.
I'm sure there must be a simpler, neater way of doing this. What about, for instance, a javascript which just said, "insert this file into the code"? I tried that with what little I could muster of javascript but I couldn't pull it off... I think it might be possible though. Or any of the other languages.
There's gotta be a simple solution for this!

Hm, thanks.
Trying a different tack, what if you made a program to manage your files for you? You open all the files in the program and tell it to replace everything between markers *A* and *B* with your updated variable content.

If I understand you correctly, that wouldn't be a good idea.
If it's something simple, use server-side includes. If you want more control, use a server-side language. You could use JavaScript, but it's probably not a good idea depending on JavaScript to add important parts of the page.

Hi All,
For the past few months I have been working on an open source
Apache/PHP/MySQL content management system - and have recently made it
available for download.
It's still very much a work in progress (current release version is
0.4.6), but you should get a very good idea of what it's about by
visiting the site (which uses it, funnily enough), or downloading a
copy of it and trying it out.

Hello
I am new to asp but I made some Jscript functions which work
fine. The functions contain some strings used as a registration
key for some apps. It is important that these strings not be
visible to a client using a browser. My question is...can a
knowledgeable browser user view Jscript source code in an asp file?

Tabs versus Spaces in Source Code
Xah Lee, 2006-05-13
In coding a computer program, there's often the choices of tabs or
spaces for code indentation. There is a large amount of confusion about
which is better. It has become what's known as “religious war” —
a heated fight over trivia. In this essay, i like to explain what is
the situation behind it, and which is proper.
