I have been asked to build this site in such a way that certain pages are accessible by the administor without having much knowledge of html ... so they can just interface with and/or add information as needed.
There are a few htm pages but they are for the scrollers, but I don't know how to make an htm page stand alone so to speak (my language is probably wrong!)
Would you, or anyone else tell me how to accomplish this ... it's really, really important.
Sorry, but I don't know what you mean by "they are for the scrollers", or "how to make an htm page stand alone".
I'm not even sure why you are saying "htm page". Are you asking about the difference between .html and .htm???
Instead of asking a question in a reply, as you have done just now, if would be better (you will be more likely to get good answers) if you select a forum and begin a new thread to ask your question. I'm not sure if your question concerns Web Design or HTML Coding, because I'm not sure what you want to do.
