this is my 1st .com domain purchase by the way so forgive my noobness lol

is it normal for a new domain not to show uploaded site files for a while?

i tryed uploading to a new domain within 20 min of registering it and the site wont update with the uploaded files.

does it take some time for the domain to become active?

ya its a pretty wierd problem.

i want the content box on every page....but the content that goes inside the content box will be different on each page.

it just really confused the heck out of me lol

thanks for the help lucid

im having a very odd and difficult to explain problem in dreamweaver...but bare with me.

i created the basic layout for my home page in dreamweaver. the layout consists of a:

wrapper div
banner div
navigation div
content box div

now within the content box div will be all the main content for the website....i want all 4 of those DIV tags to appear on every html page for my website.....which they are......but heres my problem.......

so i SSI all 4 of those divs and i add the SSI code to all my pages...and it works.

but now i wanna be able to add content inside the content box div...

how do i do that? the div tags are no longer in the code....all thats in the html code for the pages is the SSI code. so

how do i add content inside the content box div if all thats in the html code for my pages is the ssi code.???????????

and when you look at the source code, you can see they use a lot of DIV tags

im sure a content management system is a factor as well. something like joomla or whatever

Ive always wondered about this. do they sit there in dreamweaver or something and insert the html code themselves and update the site by hand.

or do they have some kind of software to do this? the sheer amount of data and information on this website is obscene and i cant understand how a small staff can keep thousands of pages updated.

im sure server side includes are a major factor but i cant understand how there able to do this.
