Hi,
I'm creating a website without frames that has a navigational list of links on the left, and a list of new items on the right.
I'm trying to figure out how i can have the right side update with anything newly added to a list of links. for example:
I have a page that shows all the fictional writings on a list, and the newest writing is at the top. Using javascript (i'm assuming this is what i would use) i have it call the first item of the documents list, and display it in the list on the right side.
If this isn't possible, i am thinking just making an external file that i add the newest writings to as well as when i add them to the fiction list.
This is what i'm thinking i would do for the navigational list as well, incase i want to add a link or take away a link from that, without editing each page.
How can i do this? thanks.

It would be possible to do both the nav links and the new items (from a manually updated page) completely on the client side using the "Inner Browsing" techniques described in an article on http://devedge.netscape.com but it would be a lot easier to do these on the server side if you have access to scripting (Perl or PHP) there.
