Guest -> web page referencing (12/1/2001 23:23:00)

i have front page 2000, i have about 50 pages that have the same exact buttons and background and i only change the text in one table on the some of the pages. when i want to change one of the buttons i have to go thru all 50 pages and do it, is there a way to make one page w/ the basic layout (background and buttons etc) that the rest of the 49 pages just reference to to view. so when i wanna change something, i do it on the one page and the others are done automatically?
thanks in advance.

Create anything you will want to change as an include page and then include them in a template page. Your pages will need to be laid out in tables but I gather you have done this already. Use this template to create your pages.

Then when you want to update any part of the page jsut change the include page and all pages will be updated.

I did a little image of an example of this a while back - cannot find that thread now but here is the image, it might help:
