In the past I have created websites with navigation that is aided by php $_GET variables. There was a layout that was implemented, and then content that was included based on the variable passed into the URL.
I am now creating a website without any server-side help. I am wondering what are good ways to navigate pages without the redundancy of having the layout repeated in multiple html files.
What kind of navigation methods have you used in the past, and what did you think was the most acceptable/cleanest?
