Is there something like C-language "#include" for HTML? 1

If your server can't handle SSI's:<br>
<br>
How about serving up the included material in a separate JavaScript file (a .js file) using the document.write() command? Just call the .js file using <script language="JavaScript" src="script-file.js"></script> in the approriate spot in your document.<br>
<br>
Problem with this is, it won't work in IE 3.

Thanks for the help. The SSI works great, and it's just what the doctor ordered. Of course it all depends on the server's capabilities. In my case, my server is GeoCities and they allow SSI on standard .htm or .html files, since they use it themselves for their add-ons to your page. (I.E., they're already parsing your files to add their stuff, so it's not much more of a load to parse for your #include's, so no additional speed problem.)<br>

The javascript will be my next project, but then you have to ask some viewers to update their browser...

You want to include a cgi script, external js file, or asp stuff?
-I dont think you can get SSI to work in asp - but maybe
-External js files will work fine
-I'm not much for asp, but there is a way to include other files -- i dont remember how, sorry

Hello all!
Certainly you may use SSI with ASP:
<!--#include file="path"-->
or
<!--#include virtual="path"-->
Good Luck!

Server Side Includes... a script or program that is executed on the server and 'writes' to the page it is called from... Like this:
I have a perl script called header.pl that looks like this:
-->UNTESTED<--
Then in my HTML page ( usually has a .shtml extension because it uses SSI):
You can also use SSI to include other documents (.htm, .txt, etc).
Any other questions? -gerrygerry

Code:
<html>

This is more text.

I thought there was a different SSI tag to get it to execute a program that outputs text (like <!--#exec ...>?). I think that include just inserts the file, not executes it. Tracy Dryden

A star and a "gotcha" on consecutive threads? Looks like you're doing about as well as I usually do. Tracy Dryden

teenmonk, ASP has it's own include statement or are you referring to including an .asp page to an .html page?
