After extensively reading through the forums here, I realize that most of you know MUCH more than I do about web documents. So I hope you can help me!
I take care of a photo website for a Jaycee group which uses Yahoo's free website.
The problem is, the person who set up the site did all of the very basic menus on each page individually, so that every change has to be repeated on the 20+ pages in the site.
Is there any way to create a drop down menu to consolidate the entries (because many go in similar categories) and have it appear on each page? That way I could update once and not have to repeat things so much (way huge timesaver). And since I'm doing a major site overhaul...
I don't know if I'm using the right terminology because I tried searching the Google and didn't come up with anything.
I'd be grateful for any help you can give!
Thanks!

Menus: try looking on some of the script sites for 'javascript menus". You can google for "free cgi, java scripts" - that sort of thing. There are a lot of them out there.... most require code installed in the <head> and possibly also the <body> sections of pages.
Server side includes (SSI) are another (and really better) way of handling this, but I'm not sure that your host (yahoo) allows them. You might check with yahoo to find out if they allow any sort of includes on their free site hosting accounts. If they do, please post again and we could go on from there.
