I helped a friend create a web page for his business, and because his clientele still uses primarily dial up I have to keep it as basic as possible. His site host doesn't allow scripting, but I have no java or CSS experience anyway. Would iframes be a good alternative?
The entire web site is a basic 3 row table that has been used as a template and modified for each page. The top row is a single column for the banner. The middle row is a two columns, the left column contains all the site links, the right column is the content. The third row is a single column that contains copyright and other general contact information.
Last night I went through the entire set of files to update the copyright information to reflect the change in year, and thought there has to be a better way. I use Notepad as my editor and have decent web editing skills for things like tables, images, links, etc. What would be involved in converting the right column in the second row to a frame, then adding the target information in the left column on the second row? All content on the website is the same, except for the content in that right column. I personally don't care if that column/frame has a scroll bar, and believe I could convince the owner that it will work just fine. Am I on the right track with the iframes idea, or is there a better way to do this?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
