    You can use php so you only have to change it once.

    Create a file like ‘navigation.php’ – then instead of the HTML on each page you can put:

    What does Ajax have to do with this?

    Dont know about Ajax but usually I use php include, I thinks the best way to insert a menu.

    I can’t tell if that iframe comment is a joke or not. So just to make sure the OP doesn’t get confused, do not use an iframe for this.

    Browser compatibility for one. It seems so simple but there are some definite quirks for some browsers. I’ve read a few instances of IE9 going a little bonkers.

    In this case, the OP isn’t trying to create some application where an iframe would (naughtily) be required. Using a PHP include would make it be a ‘single page’, not two pages that the browser has to render independently.

    It’s funny, I don’t really have an argument outside of simply knowing that it’s wrong.

    Haha I was going to add I was taught never to do it, but then I couldn’t recall what any reasons were… hmm…

    @cnwtx, php would be better from the vantage point of site performance. An iframe requires that the page requests the external iframe (nav, template part, etc.) be loaded as an additional resource to the page, at the browser level. A php include is processed on the server and the file is served as a singular entity to the client, no additional request needed by the browser. Does that make sense?
