ehmmmm…how about an include file displaying the list

I’ve done this before using an asp include file. All you do is copy the HTML from your list and place it into an asp include file. Then place response.write in front of every line and enclose your HTML in “”'s. Then place your HTML/ASP text in a function and just call the function from the pages you wanna display the list on.

[www.w3schools.com](http://www.w3schools.com) will help with any ASP questions.

by the way this is just one way to do it, there are others but this is how I would do it

PHP and XML will work. You’re gonna have to learn some other type of web application to make this work. It’s not just gonna be simple HTML.

yup simplistik’s right, your gonna have to learn a server side language such as ASP or PHP

they’re not as complicated as they look. I’d advise ASP but then being an ASP developer for 4 years I’m probably biased.

I think what you’ll need is a PHP include. They’re very simple to use, and make editing thing so much easier. Just create a file with all of you info that needs to be displayed in every page and save it as whatever.php. the .php extension is critical.

Then, in the place where you want the info to be seen, just place this code:

\<?php  
include(“[whatever.php](http://www.animekandi.org/header.inc)”);  
?\>  
\<?php

Wherever you place that code the info in whatever.php will show up, and you can change all of that by editing the one file rather than every page it’s on.

Note that all of your websites page (that this is on) will have to have a .php extension rather than .html. It doesn’t get any easier than this. 😉 Hope that helped.

EDIT: Eh, didn’t realize that this post was two days old. =\_= But hopefully you’ll read this…
