Hi
I'm adding a new product category to my line and wondered if there is a way
to update all the product category links on each page without having to do it
individually? I have frontpage 2003

Short term solution:
Global search and replace: (all pages, code

Search for:

<li><a href="just_for_men.htm">Just for Men</a></li>

Replace with:

<li><a href="just_for_men.htm">Just for Men</a></li>
<li><a href="newcategory.htm">new category text</a></li>

That menu block needs looking at and replacing anyway:

<ul>
<li><a href="loaf_soaps.htm">Loaf Soaps</li></a>
<a href="goats_milk.htm"><li>Goats Milk Loaf Soap</li></a>
<a href="holiday_specials.htm"><li>Holiday Soaps</li></a>
<a href="jumble_bubble.htm"><li>$22. A Loaf Soap </li></a>
<li><a href="just_for_men.htm">Just for Men</a></li>

</ul>

should probably be:

<ul>
<li><a href="loaf_soaps.htm">Loaf Soaps</a></li>
<li><a href="goats_milk.htm">Goats Milk Loaf Soap</a></li>
<li><a href="holiday_specials.htm">Holiday Soaps</a></li>
<li><a href="jumble_bubble.htm">$22. A Loaf Soap</a></li>
<li><a href="just_for_men.htm">Just for Men</a></li>
</ul>

You cannot legally place a list element inside a hyperlink.


Long term, replace the menu block with an include file, then there will
only be one file to update for each new category.
