loading table in page

Frans

I'm making a website in 3 different languages. I'm using a
4 different tables which are the same in all 3 languages
so I want to make them once and load it in the page when
pageview is requested by the visitor of the site.
How can I automaticilly load a table in a page?

Thanks in advanced,
Frans

You'd have to make 3 identical pages (layoutwise that is)....each in the
different language.

Another option is to have a frameset.

e.g. a left frame for a menu (with the language options for instance) and the
main frame, then in the left frame have three links for the 3 difference
languages, depending on what the user clicks on the appropriate page in that
language will load. From the Frames menu in frontpage choose insert
frameset.

If you have a main menu in a top frame, the language options in the left frame
and the main site content in the main frame page.

I don't know what you mean by 'automatically load a table in a page' because you
insert a table in a page at design time.

Try the frameset idea first, it may be the easiest.

If your knowledge of Frontpage is reasonably advanced, a database option could be
the way to go using ASP and MS Access, perhaps - and the database results wizard.

using frames is a good idea....but what I want is a block
element with DIV and /DIV on a page. When the page is
requested the appropiate table will "automatically" be
loaded into the block element. If this works I can do it
for all the 3 language (pages) with 1 table...onload????

Couldn't tell you more....the suggestion I gave is all I can think of.

The only other way is to have the three separate pages with the three different
languages and link to them.....that's the simple way.

You would have to use JavaScript to detect the browser's language setting, and then either a
server-side script to load the specific language content or use CSS to display the appropriate
layer. The drawback to using CSS Layers is that content for all 3 languages would be downloaded to
the browser when only one is needed.
