OK, I allready know this is a newbie question and ive been doing webdesign for quite awhile so i should know this, however all the sites i have ever made have been sucky frame sites and im trying to force myself to learn new styles and such. On to my question, How does one go about seting up navigation of a non frame site? From what I see, I would have to go into every single page and add the menu which would be cumbersome if i had to change the menu. Would i use a table and have the table call a central file that contains my menu information? Sorry that this sounds so lame, i just never had to deal with this sort of thing.
Thanks
-Rich

Well here's what I would suggest. Get Dreamweaver and set up a template so that you'll only have to change that from now on. Now if that's not happening then you will have to go back and change each one individually. I would do it in a table.

My suggestions.

Or, you could use serverside includes (tutorial here: http://www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorials/ssi/ssi1_intro.html ) Or do it serverside with PHP (tutorial here: http://www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorials/php/phptemplate/phptemplate.html ) or use javascript (tutorial here: http://www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorials/javascript/javascriptssi.html )

As you see there is a lot of ways to solve your problem without resoriting to dreamweaver or any other tool that you have to rely on later.

Thanx sidefx, I mostly hang over at Dr.Ozones Asylum or the gurusnetwork when I'm not working nowadays. I still drop by now and then though and browse the forums.

I would suggest using an Iframe.. (yeah, it´s not "non-frame", but... lol).

I mean, why not? PHP is great, but it has to Reload the whole page, anyways... And JavaScript is easy too, change innerHTML´s to variables "imported" from external .JS-files, but that isn´t compatible enough.... Problems, problems... I say go IFRAME!! lol
