Of course I could have the PHP create 30+ almost identical files in each of the subdomains. And then write a program to be sure there is an updated file in each of the 30+ subdomains.
I was looking around and the other solution may be to have JavaScript in the outer page (in *a.domain.com*) which can interpret GET values by an IFrame call to the page. Like: <iframe name="I1" src="http://domain.com/frame.htm*&subdomain=a*"; frameborder="0" height="87" width="96%" scrolling="no"></iframe> A third solution I'm looking at is using AJAX to read the http://domain.com/frame.htm file and inserting it into the spot in the main document where it belongs instead of an IFrame. This means that I no longer have to worry about http://domain.com/frame.htm using a CSS file since it is only html text and will use the CSS file of the main page which is what I really want. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
