Linking to an external HTML file.

OK with php you can go:

<? Include "templates/header.htm"; ?>

but what if I have a host who doesn't support PHP? Is there a way to do that same fuction without php?

If the server can use Server Side Includes then you can use

Code:

<!--#include virtual="http://foo.bar.com/this.html"-->

AFAIK you cannot do clientside linking in pure HTML

You could use DTHML and javascript, but that would be kludgy and may not work on some browsers

What he said. I was going to suggest PHP, but you seem to have that covered.

You should really be using <?php instead of <? as <? is also used to define XML namespaces - it can confuse browsers if the servers PHP config is borked

Yeah I know, but <? is fine for me

and if it was like that on this server, DP uses <? for like every PHP tag in it

So that would make DH really messed.

I guess I could use <?php though.

Well the server does support SSI so I am happy, thanks Uber.
