Frame Avoidance

Hi,

We have a web site for our team that we are doing maintenance on. We don't use frames and prefer to avoid them because of accessibility and usability issues.

On every page, we have a set of navigational links that always appear. Once in a while, we make changes to those links. However, the way the site was originally designed, this requires making alterations to every page on the site. That is definitely a maintenance nightmare.

Is there some method, which is accessible, that would allow us to store the information in a single place but also show up on every web page? Any information and details would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Tim
