Question:

Help with html 'includes' file.

How do you create and what is the syntax of an html 'includes' file?

I want to put a header and a footer file in my includes file and then call my header and footer from my html pages. How can I do that? How do I call it?

Thank you.

Be sure to set up your .htaccess file to allow Server Side Includes (SSI) if you haven't already done so. How to do this for your server is probably in the Knowledge Base Q & A on your hosts site under Support. Some require users to log in for access to this.

For using all include files (header/footer) that reside in the SAME directory as the *.shtml files using them, use:

<head>



</head>

<body>

Main content here.



</body>

For those files outside the directory where the include files reside use:



and



respectively in the same places on your pages.
