    hey there,
    I got a question, that concerns me since the beginning I am developing websites for my clients.

    Following situation: I edit my clients footer content and link it to my website- so people see who build the website.

    Problem: Once I finish a project the footer content stays the same forever ‘theoretically’. But there are many clients with websites and I want all the footercontent to be the same. Problem is that I have to log in on every site to change the footers content.

    Solution: Host a file on my own server, that has the footer content in it. So my clients website points at the file on my server with the footer content in it. This way I could change the footer content when ever I desire to on all my clients websites, without the need to log on to them every time.

    hope you understand my the problem I’am facing. You could compare it to an image that is hosted externally, but in my case it is a text for a footer 🙂

    So my question is: how can I accomplish this?

    thank you very much!

    Hi There,

    You could use an iframe for that.

    I personally it would be the best to change them individually but if you change the content quite often the <iframe> could be a good solution.

    Hope that helps

    Hi there,

    Thanks for writing back. I can’t see any iframe like your screenshot – http://prntscr.com/cl3ffq

    So it’s appearing what you have added there. Would you point us what you are facing now?

    Cheers!

    thank you! is it possible that the embedded file is styled by the page it is embedded to?

    Hi there,

    Thanks for writing back. No, iframe/embed can’t be controlled from the page where it’s embedded rather need to control from the source. So you need to add the styles on the original page.

    Cheers!
