    Simple HTML question

    Im using FrontPage for my site:

    http://www3.telus.net/public/a6a90541/SoldatSite/

    Right now all the other pages are different then my main page. My main page is the new layout.

    Im wondering is there any other way to update all the other page layouts without going through and editing them one by one in Front Page? I think its something called Frames, Im not to fimiliar with HTML so can some one help me out a bit

    Its time consuming re formatting all those pages! I want to know how everyone else does it!

    Thanks alot

    the only way that I know of to change the layout of more than one page at a time is to utilise css (cascading stylesheets) if you use these then you can have one stylesheet page that dictates (to a degree) how that other pages will look. Then to update them you only have to change the stylesheet page. If you don't know how they work try webmonkey.com they are a great source of information.
    Possesions never meant anything to me,
    I'm not crazy.
    Well that's not true I have a bed,
    and a guitar and a dog named dog.

    CSS will not create the design you're using, but for changes such as fonts and backgrounds, spacing, etc...

    What you really want to do is use a template, I don't use frontpage, but I'm sure it has to have templates. I prefer dreamweaver.

    I don't think you can just throw your template on top of the other pages though. You'll lose whatever data you have within them. The best way is to make the template, create your new pages, and drop the template on them. Then in the future if you make changes to the template it will carry accross to all pages.

    Again, I'm really referring to Dreamweaver, but I'm just assuming Frontpage has so have at least a similar function.
