Most web sites have content that appears on every page of the site (such as a header or footer) or content that appears on only a few pages but which must be updated frequently (such as news headlines or sales specials).
Dreamweaver offers two ways of dealing with recurring content so that you don't have to change it on every page of the site:
|
Library items are safe to use on every site and should always be used for sites that will be viewed locally. See Using library items. |
|
Server-side includes can be used only for sites that are viewed from a server, and only on servers that are configured to process server-side includes. (Ask your webmaster or system administrator if you are unsure whether your web server supports server-side includes.) See Using server-side includes. |
