> My question is this, is there a way to accomplish the original goal of
maintaining the site with one header and footer file using CSS?
Debbie -- you asked this question earlier this week. The answer isn't going
to change. What you are wanting to do is CONTROL content not DISPLAY of
content. CSS is for handling DISPLAY of content. You will certainly utilize
it to get the presentation you want.
But for maintaining the site with ONE header and FOOTER file using CSS --
the answer is still no. One person suggested server-side-includes (SSI).
That is one way to accomplish it. Go back to the archives and look at the
previous responses -- there are several good ones there with links to sites
to assist you.
THEN once you have figured out how to use one file to display the same
CONTENT in a header and footer and are having "challenges" with the
presentation using CSS, ask the list to assist. I would think it would be
done using a
<div id="#header"><!--#include file="headerfooter.ssi" --></div>
... Body stuff here ...
and then the call to the same SSI but within a <div id="#footer">
<div id="#header"><!--#include file="headerfooter.ssi" --></div>
That way you have ONE file containing the CONTENT but you can control the
presentation of that same content via the CSS. How the content would LOOK,
which could be completely different, would be controlled by your CSS.
Hopefully this will assist you in resolving your problem.
