that would probably require a bit of re engineering though to make things
more maintainable though. I dont believe we have access to PHP on the main

be used to allow including the menus, header, footer etc from a central

rather than requiring per-page maintenance. The downside with any
improvements along this line though is that you then probably need to test
your updates using an webserver rather than just viewing the files
locally.


What about just using frame elements? Is that considered bad form these
days?


Frames are in general considered evil by most people yes, to the extent that
I believe only iframes have survived the cut in HTML5.

iframes are even better for this case - what about using them?
