Nt sure I have the correct group ...

We have been told that we need to put a banner at the top of all our
webpages. The problem is we have been on the web since the early 90s
and have over 20,000 pages. Unfortunately its like the wild west, no
templates, and the pages created by all different people. Its a real
mess.

The only commonality is we do have a file that gets included at the
bottom of each page using SSI. I can put the banner in that file and
position it at the top using absolute positioning and CSS. The problem
is it covers whatever is there already. I would need to push the page
down a couple lines for it to fit and look halfway decent.

I was wondering if we could somehow put all our outgoing pages in a
frame using the Apache server. We could then have a top frame with the
banner and the page in the bottom frame. We are using Apache 1.3 (no
php) on a linux host.

Any ideas how to accomplish this task using the server?

Seems to me what you have is a matter of html programming and not,
strictly speaking, an apache problem. I'd suggest you look at
"HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide", and "The HTML Cookbook", both
from O'Reilly. Unfortunately, I don't see an easy solution to your
problem.

Probably not the most elegant solution (because it will genetare
tagsoup) but mod_actions might :
