Whats going on people? Man, I know this question's probably been posted several times before, but I've looked all over htmlgoodies.com and still couldn't even tell you what kinds of code I'm looking for.

I got a webstore I'm trying to develop, and we have a good size menu bar I need to add to every page. If I do it manually and decide to change something, I gotta go back through every file updating - that's NOT what I wanna do. I know there's some way I can create a Menu file, and just link it in my pages to where it LOOKS like it's on the page, but it's really a different page (just like htmlgoodies.com does).

I started out thinking it was an iframe..but iframes dont work on netscape AND theres no iframe in his page source. Then i thought it was a Cascading Style Sheet, but I think that's only for font color/styles and not HTML menu's.
My fault if this has been an over-posted question, or if I'm in the wrong forum, but I've looked everywhere I can find, and still don't have a clue on how to do this. Please help!

Server-side include. Where the menu will be by itself in a separate file. Depending on your hosting environment...it will have a(n) php, asp or cfm extension. Once you determine that, you simply call this file in each web page where you want it displayed. Then if a changed is needed, you change it in a separate file and you're done.
