(Assumes you are using FrontPage 2003)
There are a number of ways to do this...however each of them take careful
thought and/or prior planning.
You could use shared borders on each page to contain those navigation links.
You would need to add them first to each page you wanted them to show
in...after that any time you wanted to make a change in one page it would
show in all of them (easy to do but somewhat limiting and probably not the
best choice)
A somewhat similar situation is called "Include Pages" this is where you
include an entire page within another page. So you could have a page that
was your navigation page..and then include that page in each of the pages
you wished to have it show. When you wished to make a change to the
navigation...just change the navigation page and all other pages you
included it in will show the changes (a better method than shared
borders..take a little practice to get it right)
DWT is Dynamic Web Template This is a very good method but is a little bit
more difficult to get right than the first two. But again you could create a
DWT page that has what are called editable and non-editable regions in it.
In the non-editable regions you would put your navigation. You then attach
the DWT to additional pages. The editable regions of those pages is where
you would put new content. When you wanted to change the navigation..you
would change it in the DWT page itself..and then it would show in all the
other pages that DWT was attached to. (This is a very good method to use for
many reasons..takes a little more practice than the others.)
One other possible way to do it is to do a find and replace in HTML This is
a very powerful and fast way to do something..but can also be somewhat
dangerous especially if you aren't sure what will happen. Make sure you have
very good backups before attempting this.
Let's say the last navigation link you have (and I am assuming these are
only text links) is this:
<a href="contact.htm">Contact Us</a>
and you wanted to add a link to a .pdf file called testing.pdf and you
wanted the text on the link to say "Test Results" you would do a Find of:
<a href="contact.htm">Contact Us</a>
and a replace with:
<a href="contact.htm">Contact Us</a><br>
<a href="testing.pdf">Test Results</a>
This would put a break which would show the link to the .pdf file underneath
the Contact Us link (This also assumes that the testing.pdf file is at the
same level in your web as the other pages)
