column

I have a column on the side of my page which contains my menus. How do I
set the page so that when I go to new pages it keeps the column on the side
(without using frames).
The reason I ask is that I have a site with many pages and when I change the
menu for one, I have to change for all - very inefficient.

Thanks in advance.

A question often asked, including by me.

An FP solution is to use includes. I have tried this once but I have now
forgotten how to do it. I just can't figure it now.
I now use a 3rd party solution which is a small Perl script by David
Dorward. It works beautifully.

I could send details of David's script, but if you want to stick with FP,
look for include in the menus and see if you can get it to work

Make a page containing your menu, and nothing else. This must be a
complete page, including
<HTML>, <head>, </head>, <body>, </body>, </html> tags.

In the pages to contain the menu, the easiest way is to construct a 2
column, 1 row table.
In the left cell, include the menu page, in the right cell place the
page content.

To include a page use:
Insert->Web Component->Included Content->Page
Click Finish
Browse to the menu page and click OK

An icon for this is available in Toolbar Customisation: (which cuts a
lot of mouse clicks)
Right click on a toolbar and choose Customize
Click Insert in the Categories list, then scan the Commands list for
Include Page
Drag the icon to a toolbar
Click Close

If you have FP2003, consider using a Dynamic Web Template, which does
the same thing, and a lot more besides.
