Maybe iframes...

eg.

<iframe width=&quot;50%&quot; height=&quot;100px&quot; src=&quot;otherpage.htm&quot; frameborder=&quot;yes&quot; scrolling=&quot;yes&quot;></iframe>
 
There's a number of ways,

You can use iframe as suggested above, ot just as simple is to use an object tag:

<object type=&quot;text/x-scriptlet&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; data=&quot;included_page.htm&quot;>
</object>

This gives you good control over the size etc of what you want to include.

What onpnt has said <!--#include file=&quot;page.htm&quot;--> is SSI, its recommended for things like nav bars etc! But there's more to it than just that. you may need to rename your files to .shtml to get it to work, and it will include everything with is in the included document which (imho) makes it more suitable for page content which may change regularly.

Hi,

A note on SSI from personal experience.

Do not use this: <!--#include file=&quot;page.html&quot;-->
The reason is this. If you were in a subfolder of the root and you wished to call a page from a different subfolder then one would assume you would just do this <!--#include file=&quot;/subfolder/page.html&quot;-->, however this produces an error. Instead use this <!--#include virtual=&quot;/subfolder/page.html&quot;-->, and then you can put the / before the filename if you are specifying the exact location of the file to be included.

Hope this helps!
