How do I reference a .html file inside a table?

[dwcasey]

For Frames, I think there is a frame src tag you can use. But for tables, what do you do?

Someone told me to convert HTML to a .js file and then use something like <script src="..."....</script> but I can't get that to work. Maybe the HTML to JS converter I used was bogus?

Any ideas?

It sounds like you need the [tt]<iframe>[/tt] tag. Tables don't have a facility to include ane external HTML file this way.

A HTML to JS convertor sounds messy - it would certainly de-optimise your search engine rankings, and users who have javascript switched off won't see anything!

Maybe what you are trying to do is include an external .html file into the middle of an existing .html file (and it just so happens that this is inside a table on your existing .html file).

If this is the case, you need to investigate the use of server-side include files (SSI). This will necessitate you use a web server that supports this (Apache and IIS both have support for SSI).
