Hi all, first of all thanks to everyone who responded to my questions.
I got 7 replies straight into my inbox telling me off for posting non-css questions, 3 suggesting I should read a book before posting questions, and 4 which told me to either use JavaScript, PHP, or server site includes. As I said at the outset I'm pretty much an absolute beginner. I'm currently working my way through "How to do everything with HTML and XHTML", and I constantly encounter "deprecated in HTML, use css instead". Stephen Laniel expressed it best: > I think the problem is that it's not clear from the outset > what CSS handles. It's certainly not clear that CSS fails to > handle boilerplate text. >From the reaction to my question it is clear that my inability to find a solution is not due to me not finding it in the book or on the css sites, but that it is simply NOT possible to do EVERYTHING with HTML & css (I feel kind of cheated by the book but then I got it from the library and didn't shell out money for it so that's probably ok). Thanks to the people sending suggestions on how I could do it - however JavaScript seems to be a security hole (many people I know - including me - have JavaScript disabled in their browser), PHP is Chinese to me, and I couldn't even begin to voice an opinion on server site includes. On a side note I also dabble in REALbasic. The developers of REALbasic and even the CEO answer questions on the newsgroup & mailing lists posted by beginners and advanced people alike. I really appreciate their constructive tone and making everyone feel welcome, no matter how dumb their question might be.
