I'm trying to use Javascript instead of SSI for the headers of each page in my website. I have two objects in my header, both being flash objects (welcome message and drop-down menu). I have very minimal experience with Javascript so I would like to know how I go about doing this.
Welcome message code

CODE

Drop-down Menu

CODE

<div id='menu' style='position:absolute; visibility:hidden;'>
  <div><a href='../index.php'>Homepage</a></div>
  <div class='submenu' style='color:#FFFFFF; background:#ED8B8B; border:#995A57;'>
  </div>
  <div><a href="../index.php">Community</a></div>
  <div class='submenu' style='color:#FFFFFF; background:#ED8B8B; border:#995A57;'>
    <div><a href='http://f-source.com'>Chatroom</a></div>
    <div><a href='http://f-source.com'>Forum</a></div>
    <div><a href='http://f-source.com'>Fantasy Football</a></div>

  <div><a href="../index.php">Team</a></div>
  <div class='submenu' style='color:#FFFFFF; background:#9DC6B8; border:#496D6A;'>

Can I ask why you hate php? I mean with php this is so simple, a line of PHP at the beginning and end of each page and boom, template system.

Because
1) I have absolutely no experience with php
2) i have about 7 pages on my site all using html and I do not want to change all those to php for php SSI to work

Thats why replace all is handy

But I can understand your annoyance. I just think PHP is wonderful once you get to know it.

And PHP and SSI are completely different things. And your pages aren't html, they are shtml.

Now that I re-read your posts, there is no "converting" html to php, you just add php inside their own blocks like <?php and ?>
You just have to change your file extension to .php so that the server knows to parse it. All your other HTML stays the same.
