dropdown menu inside iframe

Question

hello all,

i have a bit of a problem. i made a blog for my webpage, and i user the header of it in my blog. the thing is, i have a drop down menu that i have is pretty long, so when used in the blog, the iframe does not show all of it, only the first few options.

am asking if there is a way to make that iframe extends or allow the menu to show the options.

I think that you should include the header server side instead of embedding it using an iframe. How you do this depends on what platform you're using.

If you are using plain html, the simplest option is to just copy the header. If you are using IIS you could extract the header to its own file and include it using SSI:

<!--#include file="header.html"--> 

If you're using some kind of templating system, perhaps you could extract the header so that it exists in its own template file and then include it where needed. Using Django:

{% include "header.html" %}

If you have a homebrew site, perhaps you are using PHP? Then you could just include it like this, of course:

<?php include('header.html'); ?>
