A simple approach to that is to use Apache's server-side-include functionality, which allows you to include files within a document, so you could have the top and bottom of each page defined in a template file, and have your individual documents just contain the content, with directives to include the header and footer files. If you are using a web host which does not support SSI, it would be a trivial excersise to write some shell scripts which could stitch together your content files with the header and footer files before uploading. -- Mike Quin, Unix Sysadmin, Information Services, University of Stirling Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: +44-1786-467273 Fax: +44-1786-466882 Post: 2B24, Cottrell Building, University of Stirling, STIRLING FK9 4LA -- The University of Stirling is a university established in Scotland by charter at Stirling, FK9 4LA.
