HTML code advice

[Mattw]

Hi all,

Just a quick one, im using dreamweaver for a html site. The site will have a lot of pages, however once the site is built and i decide to add a link into the footer of the page for example, I just want to change it once and the change go throughout all pages, not have to edit each page manually.

Is there a way I can do this? Like an include footer.html or something?

If you're not sure if your host has php then you can use Dreamweaver templates. Set up a template how your pages are going to look and then create the pages based off that template. If you then go back and decide to change the footer at some point you just update the template and DW will go off and update all your pages for you.

That sounds like the better option. Yes i am using dreamweaver, however this is the first time i have ever used it.

Could you give me more specific instructions on this? sounds perfect for what i need
