How to update table content in all HTML pages?

Question

I am a new developer.

I am making a website and it will contain a lot of pages, more likely 100 or more. In all those pages I have inserted HTML tables.

Now how can I update all table content at once? Without editing hundreds of pages?

I have inserted links into the table but I need to update the links in all pages. this is the table I inserted in all pages.

<table>
    <tr><th>Recomended</th></tr>
    <tr><td><a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example</a></td></tr>
    <tr><td><a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example</a></td></tr>
    <tr><td><a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example</a></td></tr>
    <tr><td><a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example</a></td></tr>
    <tr><td><a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example</a></td></tr>
    <tr><td><a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example</a></td></tr>
    <tr><td><a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example</a></td></tr>
    <tr><td><a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example</a></td></tr>
    <tr><td><a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example</a></td></tr>
    <tr><td><a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example</a></td></tr>
    <tr><td><a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example</a></td></tr>
    <tr><td><a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example</a></td></tr>
    <tr><td><a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example</a></td></tr>
    <tr><td><a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example</a></td></tr>
</table>

How can I update example.com?

that purely depends on how you have designed your application. if all of them are static, use find and replace :P — practice2perfect, Aug 26 '14 at 11:34
if you are using code behind - hande the content there. if not - use code behind. — Mx., Aug 26 '14 at 11:35
you could also use javascript with a solution like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18192777/create-html-table-from-text-file-using-javascript — Mx., Aug 26 '14 at 11:37
This is why we use programming languages like PHP, python, ruby on rails! — serakfalcon, Aug 26 '14 at 11:48

First You should learn about a web programming language ( PHP for example ) instead of writing static HTML pages.

Second to make your site available thought the internet you will need to buy a hosting and domain name. Or start with a free service

Why PHP specifically? – James Donnelly Aug 26 '14 at 11:37
This was just an example of web programming language. Editing my answer to be more general :) – webNeat Aug 26 '14 at 11:42
@webNeat there are several [free services](https://www.google.com/search?btnG=1&pws=0&q=free+web+hosting&gws_rd=ssl) where you can host you sites in the web – Mx. Aug 26 '14 at 11:45
@Max yeah but free services could be used only to test new projects. A real project need a paid hosting and domain name. – webNeat Aug 26 '14 at 11:48

1. JavaScript isn't tagged. 2. jQuery isn't tagged. – James Donnelly Aug 26 '14 at 11:38
i think solution is best – Pranay Soni Aug 26 '14 at 11:40
@JamesDonnelly CSS is tagged - may the OP doesnt really know how to accomplish what he wants. In that case tags from him have less meaning. – Mx. Aug 26 '14 at 11:41
