Advert Area - clickable gif? without updating ALL pgs

Hello, I am updating my works website and am wondering on the best way to go about doing the advert area at the top of the page. I've tried reading up on different ways but I'm getting myself a bit confused.
Please see my testing site for example: http://www.reese-test.co.uk (I'm working in PHP).
What I want:
An animated area to show my works new products as already shown at the top of the page but when clicked, it will go to that new products page. I would like this to be done by just uploading the one file (advert.gif) to the FTP each time I update it, without touching any of the 500+ pages it will be shown on.
Each of the pages will have the advert.gif on them, and each month I can just update a new advert.gif which will update all pages with the new advert and clicked destination. (embeded into the gif if possible).
Basically so I dont have to update all those pages everytime I want to change the advert every month.
I have access to CS6 DW, PS, ID, AI, FW and FLASH - can any of these programmes do what I need and if so is there a tutorial to tell me how?
I hope I am making sense - quite hard to explain what I want.
So far in FW I can load the gif (made in photoshop), add hotspot areas with the destinations, but when I save over the advert.gif - the link/hotspot area isnt working...
Does anyone have any advice please on how to do go about doing this?
thanks
Sara
PS I think I heard about having a cell in a table that embeds another page, so you just update the one page everytime? might be wrong about that though.

Hi Murray, thanks for your reply. Ok I shall look into PHP includes.. I hadn't heard of this so was unsure what I was asking for.
Redoing the website is fine, as I have made a mess of the code when learning about setting up the database and contact form etc, so wanted to redo all again properly once I knew how each part was done. The advert area is my last area to learn. This site is just my testing / learning site and then will redo all again properly on the proper site address. (i'm new to web design - I'm normally just a graphic designer).
RE your questions:
the advert area is the multicoloured flashing area at the top of the page, as shown below: (that whole advert area is a animated gif).
Only the advert area would change (on every one of the 500+ pages). Currently it is just an animated gif placeholder that doesnt go anywhere, but eventually it will have a clickable link
I guess the eventual code would look something like:
</a> | <a href="../faq.php">faq</a> | <a href="../tandcs.php">T&C'S</a> </div>
<div class="advert"><a href="../DESTINATIONPAGE.php"><img src="../images/advert.gif" width="850" height="100" alt="advert" /></a></div>
<div class="leftnav">
the /DESTINATIONPAGE.php part would change monthly depending on the "product of the month" we wanted to advertise.
thanks again. I shall def read up on PHP includes, sounds like that is what I was trying to ask for!

A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?
By the way - "your products"... nobody here produced the iPhone, we are all just users. Apple is not here.

How do I update my iPhone to iOS 5 without losing all of my apps?

Yes, provided the old apps are compatible with the new OS. BTW, double-check before in the Apps section of the iTunes library to be sure all your apps are listed there just in case. I usually sync twice just to be certain there is a backup.
I also maintain backups of the computer just in case. You should have a current backup.

You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPod to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPod under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

Have 3 Ipads how can I update all without download each time

I have 3 IPads one one computer how can I update all without downloading for each one ?

If they are the same model (iPad 1, iPad 2 wifi, iPad 2 CDMA, or ipad 2 GSM/sim) then for the second and third devices just press hold the shift key on windows, or the command key on a Mac, when clicking on the Check For Updates button in iTunes, and then navigate to the IPSW file - if they are different models then I believe that each model has a different update file.

My App Store won't allow me to download any apps. It says such and such app is unable to download try again later every time. I have enough storage all my devices are up to date on all updates please help

I am a librarian at a 1:1 iPad school and we are having this problem with all ~3000 student iPads as well at ~300 teacher iPads. This is extremely frustrating. I have tried suggested fixes found on other discussion boards but none have worked.

My parent's IPad is SUPER outdated and I'm trying to buy an app for my brother for Christmas. However, the computer that was connected to the IPAD, we no longer have. So is there any way I can update it on my mac without erasing all the photos and videos?

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

Everytime I try to update to iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I get an error containing 0xE while it is trying to backup data from the iPhone. I have done everything suggested in Apple support. How can I upgrade to iOS5 without losing all the data on my phone?

Everytime I try to update to iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I get an error containing 0xE while it is backing up data from the iPhone before installing the new operating system. I have done everything suggested in Apple support with no success. I still get the error everytime (about 5 minutes into backing up iPhone data). How can I upgrade to iOS5 without losing all the data on my iPhone (the error message says that if I continue I will lose all data on the phone)? If I have already synced the phone before upgrading the OS, would I be able to restore my data after installing the new OS by syncing after the OS upgrade is complete? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

I have a 4S and just tried updating to the latest iOS version and my phone went into recovery mode and iTunes says I need to restore to factory settings. Anyone know how I can fix my phone without losing all my content?

You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:
Restore from Backup

will i lose any of my stuff?

When you open iTunes and plug in iPhone (iPod) to computer, it appear in the left bar. Then just simply right click on you iPhone (iPod) and choose Transfer Purchases, this should copy your purchased items to your computer.
Hope this help

I had to change my apple ID now how do I update icloud without deleting all cloud data on the computer?

My provider is terminating email service so I had to change my apple ID. I did that in iTunes but now my icloud on my PC wants me to sign in under my old id, I don't see a way to update to the new ID without deleting all cloud data on the PC. Is there another way so I don't have to resync everything from the cloud?

Check the list in the link below, how to change all services, after you changed your Apple ID:
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071
In particular, for iCloud:
Update your Apple ID or password on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, and Apple TV.
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you're signed out, enter your updated Apple ID or password. The data in iCloud will automatically appear on your device after you sign in.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm. You might need to enter your password. Your data will remain in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter your updated Apple ID or password.
