I want to be able to control which file is to be included in a page by help of javascript. Can I have links on index.htm, e.g. index.htm?id=page1 and index.htm?id=page2. Then when the visitor clicks a link the id-parameter is taken from the request and somehow placed in <!--#include file="xxx.htm" --> where "xxx" should dynamically be page1.htm or page2.htm.

You are trying to change a server-side include from the client-side. This cannot be done, for obvious reasons (i.e. the server-side code is parsed before being sent to the client).
You will need to use a server-side language to parse the request. Something like PHP would work if you are using Apache.
Hope this helps,
