HTML include...?

[MadCatter101]

Ok. question. How do I get one HTML file to read code from a different file? For example, I want to set up a file (template.html) that will include basic page layout for a site that'll have ~60 pages. I want to be able to have each of those pages call up information from template.html so that I can alter the layouts of these pages by changing ONE file, rather than 60. Layout is with CSS, if that means anything. I DONT want to use anything other than HTML or CSS (e.g. Perl, CGI, Java, Javascript, PHP...), since I know incredibly little of any of these.

In essence, I want to read the contents of one HTML file from another.

Can it be done?

Either link to an external style sheet and create your layout with CSS...

<link href=&quot;myStylesheet.css&quot; rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; />

...or use Server Side Includes (assuming this facility is available on your web server)...

<!--#include file=&quot;includedFile.inc&quot;-->

You will also probably need to save your pages with the extension ".shtml" so that the server processes them properly.

(note: with SSI's do not add any extra spaces before/after the comment tags, as this can stop the SSI working)

Thank you! The server-side include was what I was truly looking for. It helped an incredible amount! Thanks.
