Hey guys, I am a little frustrated... I was doing updates on this page, and the way it's set up is all PHP pages with a style sheet and also a navigation PHP file... so the menu is a separate file, and THEN that navigation file is affected by the style.php so... it's a few files to modify the navigation in order to affect all the pages.

First, why use PHP? Why not HTML? Then, why not just make a template in Dreamweaver? So then whatever changes are made to the template affect all the pages.

I ask this last question because I needed to adjust the table where the navigation.php was linked in order to fit it's new large size. But... I had to change each page! He coded it all complicated with sheets and PHP, and then I had to manually change each page. Can anyone explain this? I just need to understand why that method is better...Thanks! [x-posted]
