I am doing css for my website, however I want the table of links to be on each page I go to without having to add the table to every single page and think i can do such a thing with css. The problem is that the tutorial I refered to instructed me to not use html tagging in my CSS so therefore I could not add the table. But then i found this following code I could modify which also did not work.
<div id="csstable">
<div class="cssrow">
<div class="csscell">Stuff</div>
<div class="csscell">Stuff</div>
</div>
<div class="cssrow">
<div class="csscell">Stuff</div>
<div class="csscell">Stuff</div>
</div>
Question: how do I add a table with all my menu links in a css document without having to copy and paste it in each file.
I have writtena css file that defines a table, table.one. I then wrote a table in my index.htm and it took all the properties of the table.one that was defined in my .css file but that still means I have to copy and paste the table in each file. I want to just add a menu of links in a table, or would it best be done in list form? In either case i would like to do this with css. I am also a bit confused.
Please only respond if you have good experience with this.
I believe that you have to use HTML for this, and paste it into each of your pages. CSS is mainly used for colors and backgrounds.
It is also used for formatting text in other ways, alignment, much more. But as for the original question, (yes I know the account is disabled, but in case anyone else finds this useful), there are two ways I know of to do this, neither of which involve CSS.
Firstly if your web server supports php use an include file like so:
make a text file called, say, links.txt.
in this file put your menu links whichever way you want them.
then in each file you want to include that menu do this:
include("links.txt");
If this is to be the only bit of php you do then it needs to be:
<?php
include("links.txt");
?>
of course.
The other way involves using ssi, or server side includes. As I don't use these very often, I'm not so sure how they work. A quick google for the info should help you there though.
HTH, in some way at least.
