Read about the "extends" template tag. You would typically put the navigation portion into a base template and also have blocks (probably empty) that are placeholders for the main content. Then you "extend" the base template in a child and override the content blocks, putting the final content into them. That's very normal Django practice and very simple to use.

If so create a file called base_business.html Put all your navigation in there and extend this file in your other files.

managing templates(html pages)
Hello all - I am new to Django development and I have a question about templates. I have many templates(html pages) and want to know the best way to manage them all. For example: I have business_form.html: to get data I have business.html: to display data and so on. Now, if I change a link in the navigation portion of my page I will have to change them in all my html pages if I want the pages to all look alike. There has got to be a way to manage this better. Please help. I have used asp.net in the past and it uses a feature call master.pages which manages this for all pages. Is there something like that for Django?
