I have a great JS Navigation menu I'm using, but if I make any changes I have
to open every page and make the change. Does anyone have a suggestion for
how to make the change on one page and then have it be universal?

I was given the advice to use an editor capable of loading up all the files
at once and performing a global search and replace on all pages at the click
of a few buttons. Any suggestions on how to find this editor and perform
this procedure? Or a better solution?
Thank you.
 
One way is to put it in an included content page, then insert that on each
page you want that particular menu on, then you just have to make changes in
one place (on the included page).

Check Help for Included Content or Included Page

There are other ways too.
 
Know why one shouldn't use javascript menus? Spiders can't read the links,
nor can screen assistive devices - this means that your site may not get
spidered, and is certainly not accessable. FP can't maintain the links -
this means that if you move or rename a linked file, your menu breaks... on
every page. This is in addition to the fact that they are usually a ton of
code overhead too.

Can you tell I don't like them?
 
Rob, thanks for the input, I'll give it a try. Murray, you're right there
are limitations, though I'm not familiar with spiders, but FP has nothing
interesting to offer in the way of navigation.
 
but you can get around the spider issue by putting small plain text links at
the bottom of the page.
 
You can get around most of the problems. By the time you have finished
working around them you have wedged 10 pounds of lard into a 5 pund sack,
and spent more than you needed on doing it. AND you still wind up with a
site that breaks when you move/rename a linked file. Why bother when the
alternate methods are so good, look and work the same, and have none of the
problems?
