'Pointer' in HTML?

[TexasOwnzYou]

I have dhtml menus on my site and its the same menu on every page.
the problem with this is that so far, i have to manually update the lil widget in EACH page if i edit something in the dhtml menu's (i'm using sothink dhtml menu to make the menus and they integrate into frontpage).

any way that i can make all these menu's point to one thing so that if i change that one thing, it will change the menu's on all pages?

EDIT: problem solved thanks to a dustin_c1

hmmm .... I have a DHTML menu made by Milonic software. It creates a single .js object as the menu (we call it menuarray.js) All we do is place that .js object in the correct static postion on the page, say inside a cell. It's the same on every page we have. There's only one menuarray.js file but it shows on every page. When we change the menu items etc. - we change one file and every page now is using the updated menuarray.js

Sothink doesn't work like that? If it doesn't, you should scrap it and use Milonic or something similar. With hundreds of pages, no way I would update each one for a single menu item.

I'll tell you about another little utility I found that is great for changing one words, words or phrases all through your website. It's called csFindnReplace. It's a perl script that you access on your browser - and allows you to do nice find and replace functions without having to FTP anything. I think it's $30 or something, but comes in handy all the time. Do a Google on csFindnReplace and you'll see it.

sorry - didn't notice the message that you fixed it. Nevermind!!!

sothink does create one file, but the info about all the menus are saved inside the page.

now, i copy the code for the menu's into a .js file and make each page get it from that file. (which i'm guessing your program does).

That works. Milonic actually is a prebuilt js file that has the attributes inside it to build the menu settings etc. You load it to the server and then point at it. Cool. Sounds like you got it figured.
