Now my problem is i need to copy or repeat the html code every page of my site to make the menu bar available. I do not ask for the exact code coz i know it is not allowed here, what i want is a suggestion or idea of how i can do it for me not to repeat the html code. One of my idea is to call that like the (behavior) function but i do not know what language to use. Thank you in advance.

if your server supporst PHP, you can use the php's include() to "import" that file into your pages. You would just save the menu bar as an independent file (let's call it menu.inc.php - even if you have just "plain" html in it).

Then you would need to rename index.html to index.php. Then in index.php at the point where you want to "insert" your menu, just put <?php include( '/path/to/your/file/menu.inc.php') ?> NOTE: It does NOT HAVE to be php. If you have ASP support, then you can accomplish the same task in a very similar manner. The syntax will be slightly different but the concept still applies.

Alternatively, see if your server has support for Server-Side includes (in which case your files "might" need to be renamed from "index.html" to "index.shtml"):

<!--#include virtual="/path/to/your/file/menu.inc" -->

Hey,

You can do that by using a new file and include_once(); Cut and paste the script for the menu and create a new php file and name it as header.php or as you wish. Then do the same with css and other script also. You call the corresponding menu script in the pages u need by include_once('header.php');. This will do. Make sure you call the css and other scripts also from the head of the pages needed.

Use the include_once() where u need the menu to appear in the corresponding pages.
