hi mastone. i have made a couple of sites before, winged alot of it, but id like to help if i can. im not sure what u mean by wanting to write the html only once, rather than 5 times, it sounds...if im thinking what you are...like you are getting into dynamic web stuff, like php. er... but im v tired and might be missing your point entirely. i guess i could have a look at your code and see if i can offer any suggestions. i cant guarentee anything though. pm me your code or email me, hobden81@hotmail.com, or paste it here and highlight your issue? i'll help if i can...
