If your server supports Server Side Includes: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/ssi.html you can use that to have every page #include your static parts. I imagine that PHP could be used to do this as well if your server has PHP support. You could probably also use a simple CGI to do it too, if your server allows CGI but not SSI or PHP. Of course, this is all still fairly manual but it's not overly complex to put together. Chuck -- Charles K.
