umm if i remember my HTML there is something you can put in the headers that will cuase the document to not cache.

content="no cache" or something...

anyone have the right answer?

Yes, I tried that. My browser still caches it. Anyways, if you combine CGI and JavaScript, there's a way to make it so that it doesn't cache the script no matter what.

There is no problem with his Javascript if you put this in the <head> tag: <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"> If your host doesn't support SSI, there are some CGI Scripts(http://www.cgi-resources.com) that are for hosts that don't support SSI, but you can make it include a file, however that is slower too.

I think http://www.cgi.veinotte.com/scripts.htm has JUST what you're looking for. Get their Web File Editor!! It's a great program for this exact problem.

sawz, the problem with JavaScript is that your browser caches it so visitors don't see the updates.

Hi,

I had a similar problem.
My solution:

Create all page (locally) via wml, perl and a db (mysql), then upload them via sitecopy.

The advantages:
- Easy maintainance via DB
- A few templates for lots of pages
- only static pages are served (server load !!)

Disadvantages:
- You have to convert your pages
- You have to setup the DB
- You have to write some (very small) scrits

If you update your links a few times this one time overhead really pays.

if your unable to use ssi, try serving it up java style.

do a :

document.write("place your html here")

don't use quotes in the html, for instance:

document.write("<a href='http://www.yourdomain.com'>your domain</a>")

call it your_domain.js

serve it up this way:

Thats actually not a bad idea and alot better then using a cgi script. Now i will find out if my "host" supports SSI. Considering it doesnt let me use a cgi-bin, have wild cards or use subdomains I doubt it will suppoet SSI but anyway.

Thanks alot

Why not use Server Side Includes (SSI) if your host supports it?

You could have your menubar in a .txt, and than wherever your menubar is suppose to go in each page, just put the following:
