Re: Automatic Headers and Footers

Yes it can be done, using the auto-prepend feature call a script that turns output buffering on. Then in the auto-appended script read the buffer a manipulate ith with the automatic header and footer. Thus you modify the content only and achieve what you want without modifying the actual HTML file.
