I've been using ancient technology

Ok, I kind of knew my website kind of sucked really bad. So I decided to make some modifications today. The first one was to somehow get rid of frames. I heard from a LOT of people, how disadvantageous and ancient they are.

I googled for alternatives to frames, and found a website that showed 4 ways to do it. The first one was using a thing called SSI, which didn't work for me. It basically just included all the files that needed to be displayed in all the pages, instead of setting up frames for them. This is sort of like the #include used in c++ and other programming languages.

I moved on to the next method, which involved using javascript to display the links on a div section. The thing to be displayed would be included in a js file. It didnt appeal much to me, since I didnt know how to layout the div in such a way that it displayed on the left, and I was too lazy to find out how to do that.

The third method was the one that I used. It was basically identical to the first one. I used a php command in all my files to include the title and the file containing the links.

The fourth one involved using iframes.

Now, the links are on top of the page instead of being on the left. I dont know how to do that right now. It might involve formatting the div element using a css file.

Another modification that i made was removing those annoying jscript boxes. I had only included them for practice. They dont really serve much purpose on the site.



I also included the links in a table and used div to enclose them in boxes. This is my first experience with using the div tag.
