hi

I have built a website for my portfolio - it has a navigation menu along the left hand side.

There's only one problem - if I want to add or change the menu, then I have to do it to every single page on the website individually

is there a way to insert the navigation menu on the website - but so that I change only one file and the rest of the pages change also

I think it's called shared borders?

I'm using Adobe GoLive 5.0

I have no idea about anything GoLive (never had it, never used it); but in general, this is very simple to accomplish with a tiny amount of scripting in a language like PHP or ASP. Usually, you’d create a simple HTML file that contains only the HTML code for the navigation menu, and then you’d use PHP/ASP/etc. to include that file at the right point in your other pages. That way, it’s the same file being pulled up for all pages, and any changes you make to that file will automatically propagate.

A similar (though much less clean and ‘pretty’) solution exists in Dreamweaver, if I recall correctly. Something with making one page the ‘master’, and then only allow certain parts of it to be modified when you make individual pages based on this ‘master’ page. When you alter the master page, all the other pages are then simultaneously changed. I’m sure something similar must exist in GoLive, too.

You need to make your left nav into an include file, .inc, and then link to it in your main file. I haven't done that in a while, let me see if I remember... you don't need asp or php for this I don't think...

here is a page that tells how to do it. You will need to save your html files as .shtml files instead, and hope your server can do this. It's a bit old-fashioned.
