A way to edit content by modifying a single file?

I have a css contact tab on the left side of my website, I have over 30 pages and I don't want to manually modify all of these pages later when the data has changed. Does anyone know a solution so I only need to change one file to edit all pages?

Perhaps in javascript?

Below is the code for the tab

<div class="slide-out-div">
        <a class="handle" href="http://link-for-non-js-users">Content</a>
      <h3>Onze contact gegevens</h3>
        <p>Adres: van Ostadestraat 55<br />
          Postcode: 8932 JZ<br />
        Plaats: Leeuwarden<br />
        Tel: 058 844 66 28<br />
        Mob: 0629594595
        <br />
        E-mail: <a href="mailto:info@friesecomputerservice.nl">info@friesecomputerservice.nl</a><br /><br />
        </p>

Edit:

This is in my html

<!--#include virtual="contact.txt" -->
  </body>

and this is in my contact.txt, which is rotting in my web folder:

<div class="slide-out-div">
        <a class="handle" href="http://link-for-non-js-users">Content</a>
      <h3>Onze contact gegevens</h3>
        <p>Adres: van Ostadestraat 55<br />
          Postcode: 8932 JZ<br />
        Plaats: Leeuwarden<br />
        Tel: 058 844 66 28<br />
        Mob: 0629594595
        <br />
        E-mail: <a href="mailto:info@friesecomputerservice.nl">info@friesecomputerservice.nl</a><br /><br />

You might want to use Server Side Includes (SSI).

You put a piece of code in a separate file, for example contact.txt

, and then simply link to it across all your 30 pages using:



<!--#include virtual="contact.txt" -->

SSI is supported by all popular web servers including Apache, IIS, and lighttpd.

Create a text file with the appropriate HTML / text and place it in your HTML where you want it to appear.

<!--#include virtual="path to file/include-file.txt" -->

Hope that helps :)

UPDATE:

After lengthy discussion, rename your pages to .php instead of .html and your contact to .php instead of .txt and use this to include your file:



<?php include('contact.php'); ?>

If your pages are in different directories then use:

<?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/path-to-files/contact.php"); ?>

This will make the page look at your site's root directory.

As suggested, you can use Apache SSI. It depends on which specific web server and module used.

To achieve this result, you can either do two things:

Use some templating language that supports it and "compile" it before uploading it to your web server. Using Ruby ERB is one example.

Another is to use a server side programming language (I would recommend PHP as it is simple, easy to deploy and a lot of documentation around) to do this for you on the server.

Here's a simple example using PHP: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/tutorial/include

How I make Daniel and Kyle's decisions (and I +1 their answers)

If I were in your situation. I put together the html with your contact information and then included it with a border on 30 other pages like

  • contact.html (which only includes contact information)
  • page1.htm
  • pagex.htm
  • page30.htm

and in one page x.htm put the following code

<body>
     Other part of page ....
     <iframe id="contact" src="../contact.htm"></iframe>
</body>
