[WSG] .htm include file into another .htm

Hi, I want to include a file to be included into about 10 htm pages, and to save time me updating them individually, i want to use a include file. Using standards, which is the best way to achieve this: 1. !--#include virtual=/included.htm -- 2. !--#include virtual=included.htm -- 3.

Re: [WSG] .htm include file into another .htm

Actually, the best way would be to use PHP, and besides, we do not tend to call them HTM pages, but rather HTML pages. And thus the filetype after its name is useless. It could be done as following in PHP: ?php include('included.html');? Which would not include your comment mark, and I do not

RE: [WSG] .htm include file into another .htm

This thread is really off topic so let's leave it here, but to correct something (sorry Lachlan)... This works on IIS as well, as long as it's a .shtml or .shtm file to tell IIS to parse it for any required processing (like an include) before serving it (unless your host doesn't allow them).
