I have a template setup using tables, but I expect to have many html pages. What I want to be able to do is edit the template once(eg. add a link on the menu), and have all those changes implemented in all my HTML pages, rather than have to edit each one individually.
If anyone knows a way to do this OTHER than frames, I'd appreciate it very much. Also, the solution does not have to be HTML. If you know how to do this in Javascript, DHTML, etc., please respond!

What server side languages do you have?
Or would iframes be ok?

unless you are creating your html pages using JavaScript(which would not be a recommended way) you will need some sort of hard core programming language application that will go through the html pages and update a particular line in it...

I know HTML, Javascript, CSS, and can USE DHTML but can't write it from scratch.
What are iFrames?
None of those languages are really cut out for the job. You could use PHP or SSI, if your server supports either of those...

Didn't think so. Anyways, since I've given up on the idea, do you know a good site that 'teaches' PHP?
Here are some good PHP links:
http://www.php.net (my personal favorite)
http://www.phpbuilder.com/
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/programming/php/index.html
http://php.resourceindex.com
more links can be found at http://www.php.net/links.php
And here's a good list of PHP editors:

Dreamweaver will do it automatically.
