I'm looking to have one page of a site updateable by simply replacing an older txt file with a newer one. In other words, an article will exist on a page...when a newer article is available I'd like to be able to upload the new txt fil to the webserver and have it update in the HTML page automatically.

This sounds like it should be fairly easy but I have no idea how to do it. Anyone have a tip? Thanks

you could try this method, if you have ssi's turned on. it's probably the easiest, as you don't have to learn any php or do anything hard. it's quite easy to do this in Flash too, if you have that. if you need more info, shout me
