Is this possible with CSS?

Hello all, been a long time since I have been to this site. I have a question regarding calling in external CSS pages. I did do several Google searches but didn’t come up with what I’m looking for. Basically my buddy wants to build a navigation in a CSS document and then on other content pages call in that navigation CSS document so that way when changes need to be made to the navigation he only has to make them once. From my limited experience with CSS I was under the impression that you can only call in CSS documents that are styles or function coding, not actual pages with coding such as tables, images, a href’s and so on. Am I mistaken and this can be done? If so, say I set up a table in a page and would I just use this type of command: <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="navigation.css" /> . Thanks in advance for any suggestions/advice you may have!

CSS is ONLY for defining style to markup elements (<h1>, <a>, <div>, etc.). It cannot generate more elements or anything of that nature.

What your friend wants is only possible through some server side means. Server Side Includes, PHP includes, and many other possible server side solutions are available.

That's what I thought but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for your help Toast!
