I'm running a webiste, and I'm tired of editing all my pages everytime I update with new links. I heard from a friend that I-Frames can really help you out. I'm trying to learn how to use I-Frames so whenver I update with new links, they'll appear on all pages. Is there someone who can help me out. A tutorial, a website, advice, anything would be helpful.

I have a question. Are I-Frames the only way to make it so that whenever I update my site with new links, they'll appear on other pages? Or are I-Frames my only options?

You can use PHP includes. IMO these are better than IFrames as all browsers support them and are even easier to update. http://www.pixel2life.com/tutorials/PHP_Co...s=PHP%20include

PHP is the best way to do this. When i started web development, i had the same problem, and i have to say, for some, PHP isn't easy. But if you understand it, it's the best thing you could ever want.

I do agree that PHP is the best option. But it sometimes depends on your layout.

If you have a layout that is supposed to be a fixed size, iframes are the better option... But if you know CSS, you can still use PHP and get a better result.

i dont wanna be mean or nothing but what you said up there isn't necessarily true. iframes are a bad option no matter what when you can use php to achieve the same thing.

and i just dont get how css can come in to play with your php usage and its productivity.

CSS's overflow attribute making the i-frame like appearance. It's not so much that it affects the PHP, it's that it keeps a fixed width template from breaking (like an i-frame could do).

My advice is not to use iframes at all, use php includes.

[arcath]

Includes are far better I-Frames are terrible for search engines, cause u will get the link to the page that doesnt have the frames on
