simple question

[Leo Baumann]

hi,

at my web sites, web1144.server19.greatnet.de, i have a lot of links to my
e-mail-address.

The question is:

Is ist possible to define the e-mail-address only one time in a variable,
and use this variable at all my sites, so that i only have to change the
definition, if the address changes ?

Thanks for help

If all pages static HTML, then you will have a problem. If, however, you are
willing to add JavaScript or convert the pages to PHP, then you'll have the
possibility of defining your E-mail address 'outside'.

Problem is, you'd still have to reference the file on each and every page at
each domain where you want it to be seen.
But once you've coded in the reference page, you'll only need to update the
originating page.

Before resorting to server side inclusion, consider the drawbacks such
as the needless use of server resources and caching issues.

Far to many people resort to various forms of server side inclusion
whilst a Search & Replace or the use of a preprocessor are equally
capable of doing such a task without any of the drawbacks of server side
inclusion.

What prevents people from considering S&R is unfamiliarity with software
that offers a good multi line, multiple files, directory wide (with sub
dir option), scripting and/or regexp's supporting S&R tool where common
S&R operations can be saved.

Leo,

Why not create a page which contains your E-mail address (or more preferably
a contact form which prevents spam) and just refer to that page from all
other pages?

Otherwise, you might want to consider E-mail forwarding as well.

S&R is also easier to get going, as you don't need to edit all your
existing files to get things going...

Of course, when problem is just replacing email address, most of these
don't apply. Only feature that is needed is ability to do it for all your
files.
