Avoid repeating a domain name

[ian]

The holding page I'm working on currently requires me to enter the domain name a few times in various bits of the html code (and contact form). Is there a way in which I can add the domain name once, and then reference it with some kind of basis code everywhere else, so it is quicker when I set up a new page.

Something like thisismydomain.co.uk, and everywhere else NAME={domain-name}. You get the jist (hopefully!).

Are you creating the html page with php (asp) or is it a static html page?

If you're using a static html page you could include jquery and then wrap something around each occurrence eg <span class="domainName"></span> then just have a piece of code that runs on page load $(".domainName").text("whateverdomainyouwant"); That would change all occurrences

If you're creating the page with php you only need to put the domain name in a variable then <? echo $domainName; ?> wherever you want it.

Rob's way is ideal. Even if your working in html you can essentially just change the extension to .php and it will work once on server. PHP var defo the way to go.

Thanks guys. It is a static page built from HTML, with a php contact form and a few jquery type files for opening stuff on the page. It was a bought option, I didn't create, so I'm struggling a little with the best method...or whether this is a seo no no to mask/hide the name too much?
