Guts Goes Here!

This is an example of a rudimentary HTML page, built as a template AFTER separating it into 3 include files, which could all be included in your "index.php" main page, for example.

The Three included files are called headerINC2.php, navINC.php and footerINC.php.

This version uses an updated css page called, template2.css, which includes CSS references to classes for a horizontal nav built for this version of the page.

The header include file in this case is headerINC2.php, which includes an include file itself, the file called hNavINC.php, which is a horizontal navigational element, built of TDs.

The way to implement this across other pages would be to copy this page, rename it, and then use the central area (shown as "content area" or "guts" in HTML comments in the source code) to place the specific content for your page!

The advantage to this design is you can have consistent elements (header, footer, nav) that can be changed in one place, and only need to swap out the "guts" to house the content of your current page!
