I don't think it's possible for lightbox to ignore the frame it's in, since it's bound to it. You’d have to link the images normally with target="_parent" or target="_top,” which isn’t what you want.

I'm pretty sure your server will allow PHP or Server Side Includes, just make a header and footer file that incorperates everything of your design except for the actual page and put those two at the beginning and end of each file.

To use PHP your pages might need to end in .php, depending on the server. The PHP one would just be:

<?php @include("header.php"); ?>


- Page stuff -


<?php @include("footer.php"); ?>

To do it with SHTML (which may need a .shtml extension) use:

The obvious can hurt. This method was a much better approach, everything works the way intended (offline right now) Thanks =x

Ah yes, the time one learns about the magnificence of includes.

Truly amongst the most helpful things in any web designer's tool kit.
