I may have to abandoned the idea of embedding the page with the content. I'm surprised it's so difficult to do something that seems so basic. I'm trying out some WYSIWYG web editors to make the simple content changes I need. That my work better than trying to embed the content page.

Thanks for your advice.

With a transitional DOCTYPE

With a transitional DOCTYPE an iframe will validate okay. As an iframe can get its source from anywhere, this is likely your best bet.

The support for the OBJECT element in older IE is flaky at best.

I'm a teacher and the school

I'm a teacher and the school system wants us to host our files on their servers. I'm using the GoDaddy space for other purposes.

The server at my school is set up as a network drive that we can save files to. They don't allow FTP. They call it the "MySchool" drive. I don't know if this is a commercial product or just something they set up.

Thanks

I'll check this out. Thanks

What restrictions at your school stop you uploading a CMS to a Godaddy hosting account?

Yours sounds like a good use

Yours sounds like a good use case for a static website compiler such as nanoc.

You can define a template with a placeholder for your page-specific content, and have the compiler automatically combine your input to produce plain HTML files. The compiler need only run once on a computer of your choice, to yield files that your web server should be able to serve without supporting anything special. You would repeat the compilation for every update, however.

Additionally, using Word to produce HTML instantly rings alarm bells. People resort to cleaners to get rid of the smell, so you would be ill-advised to publish directly from it. If you're interested in nanoc, you might consider simply using Markdown for your content.

Good luck.
