keep left side unchanged and right side of the page change

[Guest_imported]

Hey,
I am working on creating a web page where I have the header footer and the menu in the left side and content of the menu pressed on the right side of the page.

And I would like to keep the header ,footer and menu as common for all the page and keep the right side ie the content of the page changing.

Could anyone let me know how this can be handled.
I would really appreciate any sort of help.

Put the html for the header, footer, and menu in separate file, then use server-side includes to include the header, footer, and menu html files. Tracy Dryden

Thanks.
Great.I think I am on the right path.
But I face a problem.

When the content of the right side page exceeds a single page the left side menu points to the center of the right side content.So most of the time the menu rests on the secong page and not visible initially.

I am using
<table>
<td>
include menu
</td>
<td>
right side content
</td>
</table>

Both the right and left side content points to the center of the each others content.

Is there any way to keep the both to start from the top of its positions.Is there anything like align.

Help me out please.

Your current problem requires a property called valign in the first TD cell <TD valign=top> this will keep your menu at the top of the cell.

if you only want to support IE browsers you can use an Iframe to put your content in. This way only the content area will get scrollbars and everything else will stay visible on the page.
