    God, it took me a while to find out how to work this, it isnt as easy as everyone thinks, well it is but not on freewebs, here is how you do it:
    First name all your page extensions (html, htm etc) to shtml
    Then go to one of your pages and copy the nav bar
    Make a new page called nav.html, can copy the code in there
    Then change the name of nav.html to nav.cav
    then highlight the menu in one of your pages and pate this:
    <!--#include file="nav.cav" -->
    so your file will have that instead of your hell lots of code, you can also do the same with the affilate bar aswell.
    So if you want to edit the nav bar, change the name of the nav.cav back to nav.html just so you can edit it and then change it back!!
    There you go how to use ssi for freewebs.

    Mods - sticky perhaps?

  • O_o

    I'm pretty sure most people know that. Also, where'd you learn that it has to be .cav?

    No, you need to configure the server to allow SSI to be executed on other extensions over SHTML and SHTM. You can't just add SSI directives into a .html document without configuration to the server.
