html #include not working

[superfly404]

any guess as to why my html #include is not working on my web page?

<!--#include file="components/top-nav.html" -->

Does your server support server-side includes? Try renaming your page to have a ".shtml" extension.

Hope this helps,

Incidentally, you should probably add a generic font family to your font declaration:

body {
	font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Tw Cen MT", Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, [b]sans-serif[/b];
}

for the rare occurrence that none of those fonts are installed on the viewing platform.

Also, try specifying you font sizes in ems rather than px (16px == 1em on most platforms), and going for a scalable solution. Given that it will scale in most things other than IE anyway, and the design looks well able to cope with scaling, I think it would be a good addition to the site.

Try renaming your page to have a ".shtml" extension.

Just to be precise, Dan is talking about the index.html page. By default setup on the servers, pages that have .html extension are not parsed for server side includes. If changing it to .shtml does not help, contact your server admin and ask if they support server side includes.

You may also be able to write a [tt].htaccess[/tt] file which will enable server side includes for other extensions on a local basis, but again the server has to be configured to permit this.
