Hi everyone,

New here. Found this site and hoping for assistance.

I have three questions:

1 - Is it possible to create a header and footer master without PHP (I know how to do it with PHP)?

Purpose: I want to be able to edit static information on a site in one file only rather than every single htmlfile, every time.

Can someone tell me to the BEST way to do that without PHP and direct me to a great tutorial (ideally video) though which I could gain that skill.

2 - Is using frames a good practice? If not why

3- What is the BEST way to emulate frames without the use of HTML frames (javascript, css, mix of both?)
Here again, can someone direct me to a great tutorial (ideally video) though which I could gain that skill.

I know all of those are possible, but I am lost and confused at what to believe, where to start and which is the best and easiest way to do those things.

Cheers,
TheApprentice

I have dug the site and the internet a bit further and found the answers to my question. I'll be more careful next time. Newbie here Wink

Here`s an excellent link that summarizes the answer to my questions:

I would add asp.net to that list and the choice is yours. There are advantages and disadvantages to all methods.

The only method in that list

The only method in that list other than PHP that has any validity is SSI
