How to update a webpage remotely without editing code

[Peter]

I have a question: I believe some companies can update their website
without editing the HTML code.

An example would be:

I run a resturant with a webpage and I want to update the "daily specials"
on the webpage. In order to update the "specials", I'd have to pay a
designer $50 an hour, learn how to edit the HTML code myself, or have the
original design incorporate a section of text that I can edit from my home
PC.


Does this require special software or advance website design experience?



Any assistance would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance!

Peter - a simple way is to use the "included component" feature of
FrontPage.

Open a blank page and create a table in which you add the text for the
daily special. Save the file as, say, daily.htm

Next, create a table - specify the size and location on the page(s)
where you want the daily specials to appear. Then place your curser
inside that table. From the menu bar - Click on Insert, then web
components, included content, then select Page, click finish. A menu
box will appear in which you browse for your file daily.htm

Then every day, change the daily.htm file and it will automatically be
added to the page(s).

You do this wil a JavaScript - but I don't know how to write the
script.

Hope this helps.
