Hey, I'm pretty advanced with HTML, but one thing I can't figure out (it may not even be possible) is how to remotely link an html document in the BODY (Much like a CSS document is linked in the HEAD).

If you don't understand what I'm saying, let me give you an example: I am going to be the webmaster of a site that will continue to grow. We'll start out with a few different categories, such as fashion, jokes, politics, etc., and every month we will add a new page to every category. As we add new categories, I want to be able to just have a remote html document that can be edited which contains the navigation. That way, every single page won't have to be edited when a new category is added.

I really would like to be able to do this, and I don't want to use frames. Thanks for any help anyone out there has.

you would need to use some type of server side language like php, asp, etc... and then you would need to use includes and you would include the same file in all of your pages, and you would only have to edit it once, of course your web server would need to support php or asp in order to use includes, here is a link (http://www.joe2torials.com/php/php_includes.php) that explains how to use an include
