is there a way to call a cell from a table and display its contents on a page?
I am trying to make an AWANA page where the theme for the week is displayed and would like to be able to set up a file at the beginning of the year with all the themes and have it automatically change each week. someone else told me to use cron but i can't figure out how to do that.
Please help

You really need a different design.

If you use PHP & mySQL then you can store the dates in the database and have the info pulled from the database and outputted to the screen.

You can have this for the main page and the seperate pages.

You can't really do what you want any other way.

If all the data was on the same page then you could use Javascript to access the cell content and duplicate it but it's not a very good method.
