I made a drop down menu using HTML and CSS. Something like this: http://sneznipark-kg.si/
How can i put a menu in external file(so that i don't need to make changes to it on every page individually)?
I could use iframes, but the problem there is, that elements that "drop down", are only visible in iframe, not on the main page.
I found some solutions using PHP, but i cant use those, because contract with my server provider doesn't include databases (so i cant use PHP, right?).

As mentioned above, you should be able to use PHP.
If you're not opposed to jquery AND both files are on the same domain. You can use .load().

You can use any container as a place holder. Like a div, then load the html page into the div. It will put the entire page into the div. So you probably just need to add the menu part, and not the entire html markup.

I have a web site of more than 20 pages, all using the same dropdown menu. Currently, each page contains redundant HTML code for the menu, so if I want to change one thing in a menu, I have to change it for all the pages. I am using plain html/css and some javascript for my site. Is there a way to have my dropdown menu all in one file and include the reference to that file for all 20 pages?
I tried using the <embed> element to include the menu, but it did not work out for me since I cannot adequately align it as it leaves a large empty area right below it to allow for dropdown options. Not sure what is the best way to handle that
As suggested by Quetin Veron in the comment, PHP include statements are the best way to deal with it.
However, in case you're not interested in writing backend code, you can do that using JavaScript by parsing a json or an ini file/text in your script and converting it into the required links on the menu.
[Do note that you'll still have to use JavaScript for that]
If you'd not even prefer to use JS (Not recommended), you can use an iframe as the navigation menu
When you do that, add <base target="_parent"> in the head section of your iframe.
And then, in all other pages, add <iframe src="menu.html"></iframe> and replace menu.html with the path to the menu.
I hope this helps. However, please note that this just is a workaround if you wish to use frontend technologies only.
Otherwise use <?php include "menu.php";?> for PHP or for Node with EJS, use <%include "menu.ejs";%>
Im using wordpress.com to host my blog. When you click on the site image, it takes you back to the blog home page and not the homepage the belongs to my site.
I know how to change this with an installed wordpress through the editor menu.
However, I dont have any of these option on wordpress.com, however, I have full access to mutate stuff through css.
Is there a way to force CSS to make the changes for me.
Site
However, I want it to read
Site
Just to recap, I dont have an option to change this through the editor. My only option of changing this is through CSS.
I was thinking to use something like this to replace the text inside the herf. But I cant even get it to work with the example text.
Thanks a million.
No - CSS is a read-only way to style page content, not change the content itself (which that tag is a part of).
I am having a header which it will be uniform in all the pages. I want to make it generic. So I want to include common header in every HTML Page.
When i checked for HTML includes i cameup with SSI which needs a server. My Requirement is I want to include HTML file in another WITHOUT a server.
The way I would do it would be to make a "hanger" div with a class of .header. Then put a <p> inside the div to put alt text into. Then in your main css stylesheet apply your header image as a background image, and negatively indent the text.
Example
.hanger {background-image:url(header.png); text-indent:-1000px;}
To resize the header all you would do is put a width and height on div.hanger.
Does this help?
I've never heard of including html in another html file. I think what you can trying to do can be accomplished using an iframe.
example: header.html
This later question got an answer that works with files on disk provided you are using firefox.
Chrome gives a cross site scripting error
You could have a <div> for the header, I will call it <div id="header">.
Using jQuery we could say something like: $('#header').load(---html file---);. Aside from the pain it might be to include the JS file in all pages, it will allow you to make changes to the header globally throughout your application.
I have several HTML pages that share a menu area. Every time I update the menu area (eg with new "breaking news") I need to update all 10 pages manually.
With frames, they all point to same frame page so I only need to change one page. But I was told frames are bad and I should use divs. Is there a simple way to do this with divs? (preferably without JQuery or Ajax)
You could use an iframe. It still is sort of a frame, but you would avoid a frameset-index-page and if you set borders to 0 and content that fits in you won't even see borders or scroll-bars and it will behave like a div
<iframe style="border-width:0px;" src="news.html"/>
You should use fixed width-heights though to avoid scrollbars. To me its the simplest "html-only"-solution to your problem.
You could use jQuery's load() function.
You'd have to add the following to the head of each of your pages:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
Then you'd have to add the following DIV where you want the content to be loaded.
<div id="breakingNews"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://example.com/news.js"></script>
Be sure to edit the link to the news.js file.
Then you'd create the news.js on your server, and add the following code:
$('#breakingNews').load('path/to/breakingnews.html');

Not the nice solution, but if you really want to have single point of menu definition, include it in the script which includes setMenu function and you load the script in every page's head and call a setMenu function on every page's body onload, which then sets the menu as innerHTML of the div that you include in every page specifically as a menu placeholder.
Client side templating may be a solution if you are trying to avoid server side solutions for dynamically generating your content.
Using ICanHaz.js templating, http://icanhazjs.com/, you could store your html as objects. Then either include them directly as .js files, or make ajax requests for them.
I've created a toolbar in html that I need to be able to load of any given webpage; I'm thinking of loading it on the page through the use of a bookmarklet but I can't quite get my head around how I go about doing it.
An example of what a need to happen is as follows.
I navigate to any webpage on the internet, I click the bookmark for my toolbar and it appears at the bottom of the page without affecting any of the content on the page, it will stay fixed even when scrolling.
I've added a picture of how the toolbar will look, any suggestions on how I can implement the required functionality?

Many Thanks
What you will need to do is use CSS to keep it at the bottom. Basically you stick your toolbar html code in a <div> tag and then use CSS to keep it at the bottom. Try reading this link or this link on how to do it
Create a script file that you can host somewhere (if it's just for you, you can use localhost). In that script build the toolbar. Your bookmarklet will look something like this:
javascript: document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("script"))
.src = "http://myserver/myscript.js"; void 0;
It wraps here for readability. It won't wrap in your bookmarklet.
The javascript: tells the browser you are executing a script. The void 0 at the end prevents the page from navigating to the return value of the JavaScript.
