Is there any good way to open a page inside of another without using frames? Basically what I am trying to do is create a menu page and have this opened at the top of each of my other pages so as to stop repetition and inconsistencies. However I don’t really want to use frames, I will if necessary but is there not another way?

Thanks guys.

Unless you have access to serverside methods, you might want to look into using <iframe> to include your external navmenu.

If your host supports server side includes, you can use that method.

You can also use a JavaScript that can be included using <script src="..."> and build the menu, but if your client has disabled javascript, he would not be able to navigate. If your menu uses javascript anyway, that may not be a consideration.

Newer browsers have an IFRAME (inline frame) that is not quite the same as frames.

NS 4 has the unique ability to include files in their proprietary <LAYER> tag by specifying a SRC.
