Referencing external files ?

[J741]

I know that CSS code can be used in an HTML document by referencing an external .CSS file, and I know that JavaScript code can be used in an HTML document by referencing an external .JS file. Can this also be applied to the HTML content?

Basically what I want to do is to create a dynamic, animated banner and menu system, and use it at the top of any new page I create.

Right now, I know I can do this by using frames, and having the banner and menu in a top frame, and then loading the bottom frame with whatever page I want. This is fairly simple, but not very elegant.

I can also do this by copying the banner and menu code into each and every new page I create, but this seems like a reduntant waste of time, and a nightmare to edit in the future.

Can anyone suggest a more elegant way to do this?

You can attached an include file in your code and make it work.
For example <!--#include file="includes/file1.jpg"-->
