If you look at my site you'll notice I use div's and an iframe. Now I've recently found out that the iframe looks all messed up on an Mac. I'd like to know if there is a better way other than iframes.
My goal is to make sure the nav on every page is exactly the same without having to update each individual page. So thats why I put an iframe on my index so that I only have to change the nav on one page. I noticed on most pages when you click a link the entire pages loads with the same nav and the new content. I want to do the same thing. Could someone please tell me how they do this without having to update the nav on each individual page? I know something like that would take a long time and thats not something I want to do. Oh yeah, link is in my sig: livinadaydream |

Ok, I've never worked with php but I'll give it a try. But what do I do, just save all my files as php? Can I use the same codes like in html or no?

but if you do php includes its a bit diffrent so read the tutorials on it. |

Ok now I have another problem. Everytime I open a PHP file to view it, my browser keeps trying to download it and the only way to make it stop is to close my browser. It wont even show me what it looks like! How can I make this maddness stop?!

*sigh*
Overall I do notice that PHP is more organized and for the most part it is working. I guess its just getting used to it. |
