I want an auto update section for my site

Question

I want to have an update section on my site, but it is very annoying to go to every page an change the section. Is there anyway I can have a link or something to a filein my updates section, and then update just that file, so every page is automatically updated?

Use PHP for dynamic content. Use the `include` function.. – Josh Crozier Oct 05 '13 at 18:04 — Josh Crozier, Oct 05 '13 at 18:04

I think you're looking for something more than HTML and CSS. Personally I would recommend PHP, a server-side scripting languages, which will help you put HTML files together based on pieces, like a header, content, and footer. It's fairly simple, you can use the PHP function include() to get started: http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php

Thanks. I knew I would need more than just HTML and CSS. I considered PHP, I'm just not very skilled, so I tried to avoid it. – user2850141 Oct 05 '13 at 18:07
It's not terribly hard, and most of the time you're just putting HTML in a PHP file, with small amounts of PHP here and there – russtuck91 Oct 05 '13 at 18:09

You can use a php include to to have that file inserted into a certain area on any page, then changing that file will mean that that change will be reflected on any page which you have included it.

You can use Master Page concept if go for ASP.Net
In HTML you can add includes where ever you want as a part of common page for all .

HTML5 Solution
Warning: May not work on older browsers, not officially supported yet

You can use <object> which should look like this:

<object name="foo" type="text/html" data="foo.inc"></object>

Remember that it is not a self closing tag so you must use </object> for it to be valid HTML5.

<embed> can also be used for including external html content (and any MIME type):

<embed type="text/html" src="foo.inc">

Have you tried using Javascript? You can load the content using one of jQuery's AJAX function:

$("#mysection").load("ajax/test.html");

Remember that it must load a file from the same domain to prevent issues with the Same-Origin Policy. Another approach which I personally wouldn't recommend is putting your section within an iFrame.
