You still have to edit each page to put a line of PHP code or such at the bottom to point to the page with the toolbar, but once you have that done, you will only need to modify the page with the toolbar and it will change sitewide.
Is that what you're looking to do?
That is a bit confusing..
If I am having to edit each and every page to include the code for the toolbar to show up, then, if I ever updated or modified it, wouldn't I have to re do each and every page again?
I dont see how doing it once is one thing, but after that, just 1 file needs to be edited.
You want to use PHP includes, assuming your sites are in PHP. No, if you do it properly, as long as the include code is on each page, you should never have to modify it again. You would just modify the page with the toolbar.
Here's an example.
index.php is your main page.
mysiteisawesome.php is the second page.
toolbar.php is the page that contains the code for the toolbar.
On your index.php and mysiteisawesome.php pages, you will use a PHP include (one short line of code) to include the toolbar.php page automatically at the bottom of those two pages. If you ever need to modify the toolbar/footer, you would simply modify toolbar.php and it would be updated automatically in every single page, whether it's 2 pages like in my example, or 2000 pages.
Visit my website, www.wswd.net
See all the links at the bottom, the copyright at the bottom, etc.? That shows up on every single page of the site. There is one page that controls all of that, we'll call it footer.php for simplicity sake. When I need to modify one of those links, or even when I change the copyright from 2011 to 2012 in a couple months, I only edit the footer.php page to reflect the changes, and all the other changes are updated automatically.
Here's a good start with examples: http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_includes.asp
You need to put the include where you want the toolbar to appear.
Wordpad or Notepad is just fine for PHP.
You need to put the php include right where you want that page to appear. For example, if you want it right at the bottom of the page, yes, right before /Body might be the best place for it. Just depends on what your page looks like really. Without seeing the exact page and code, it's difficult to say.
Yikes! Definitely messed up in IE. I'd say it's the actual toolbar itself that's incompatible with IE. When you just look at the toolbar (i.e. toolbar.php, or wherever the code is) in IE, is it still messed up?
The HTML code for the copyright is © Try that and it should work out for you.

Well that's weird. But if the toolbar page itself is still broken, there has to be something wrong with the toolbar code. Perhaps you are using it differently? There's something different from one to the next. I would copy the code directly from the working IE site to the toolbar page, try it like that, and see if it works. If it does, then go back to modifying it for the new site and see what breaks.
