Hi, I've got a simple CSS site with a header then a left for the menu and center for the rest. Is there anyway I can sort of "link" to the left div so that I don't have to update EVERY page whenever I want to add another link to the menu?

Heres the code for one of my pages:

<html>
<head>
<title>Frankford Plains United Methodist Church</title>
<style type="text/css">

body
{ margin-top: 5;
margin-bottom: 5;
margin-left: 5;
margin-right: 5;
padding-left: 5;
padding-right: 5;

background: #87c0f5;
<!--background-image: url(http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/9269/sky3cc.jpg);-->
background-repeat: repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
font
{
font-family: Arial;
color: #000000
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 14pt;
}

#header {
margin: 20px;
padding: 10px;
height: 175px;
}
#left {
position: absolute;
left: 15px;
top: 230px;
width: 200px;
}
#center {
top: 0;
margin-left: 230px;
margin-right: 15px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div id="header">

<img src="http://img315.imageshack.us/img315/5343/fpumc6fj.gif" border="0" width="457" alt="Frankford Plains United Methodist Church" />

</div>

<div id="left">

<font face="Copperplate Gothic" size="12">
Frankford Plains United Methodist Church
</font>
<br><br>
Menu Item 1<br>
Menu Item 2<br>

</div>

<div id="center">
<div align="center">

I would suggest using a PHP include. (search google or this forum for more info :))

the first file is .php and so is the second one, the second one is named left.php, so it should work...

Your server does support PHP, right? And PHP is installed, right?
