Im building a site and I want to put all my links urls in a single file in my cgi-bin. So that if I need to change the path of a broken link I can by changing the url in this one file. This would save me alot of time without changing the html link in every page. I only know html and have tried other langages but find it hard if someone could show me a script that would be of use or point me in the right direction I would be very pleased as it is the main thing holding me up on publishing the site.

Thanks in advance with this one.

I find the easiest for this kinda stuff is make a file called links.js , in it put
document.write("<font size='4'><a href='index.htm'>Home</a><br><br><a href='members.htm'>Members of LOL</a><br></font>");
just keep adding ur links, then in each HTML file just add
<script src="links.js"></script> whereever u want the links to appear.

Hope u understand this

with PHP&MySQL the whole story would get even easier

How many free hosts have MySQL, even PHP, Thats why i put the tech above, it works on all hosts.

Thanx guys for the help. I am a bit reluctant to use java script as i know of people who have browsers that dont enable it. And I have a free host, all be it slow but they do except mySQL and PHP and I think that would be the way to go. I would like to thank you both for your intrest so far and please do keep helping me with this one.
Oh for anyone interested my web site host is http://www.portland.com

Thanx again

ok, I would not use MySQL for this one, make a file called link.lst in it put
<a href="link1.htm">Link1</a><br><a herf="link2.htm">Link2</a>

then in HTML file add
<?php $LinkFile = "link.lst"; $fp = fopen($LinkFile, "r+"); $tts = fgets($fp,filesize($LinkFile)+1); fclose($fp); print "$tts"; ?>

just add new links, etc to the link.lst file.

hope this works just a tag i have been working on aswell [addsig]

You're reluctant to using javascript, but not to using a flash plugin? sounds like a s trange combination..

I can see that it upsets people to use a flash signature and as i was only experimenting i will remove it. I think this is a good forum and it would be best to keep it that way
