Is this on Apache? <warning: untested idea> I'm wondering if you couldn't use an Apache <FILES> directive to turn on PHP's auto-append feature for that one page. Then the people who need to tinker with the HTML could do so freely without the possiblity of messing with the include; in fact, they'd never have to know about the include file's existance, it'd just happened "automagically" as far as they (and the boss) are concerned. -- CC
