How do i survive without frames?

ok, well basically what i want is to be able to insert external html code into another html file.
For example, something like this if it was possible:
<html><body>

<htmlsource="links.html">
<p>blahblah</p>

</body></html>

I've managed to do this, using javascript variables with html code as the variable. But this is messy.

So... is it possible using html?
...and if not in html, any other way?

It's possible with HTML, using Server Side Includes.

I don't know whether or not your server will support this, but give it a go.

Use it like this:

<!--#include virtual="links.htm" -->

For it to work, you'll either have to give your files a .shtml extension, or CHMOD to 755 in your FTP client.

Hope this is of help.

Ahem.. I'll just expand on what donal said.

If your server supports it, you can include a file with php like this:


<html here>

<?php include("navigation.html"); ?>

<more html here>

The file must be renamed to a .php for the server to parse it.

Humm... thats good too.
I wonder though, would you be able to include .php files this way?

...i.e. would this work?

<?php include("navigation.php"); ?>

Yup that works fine, any php code in the include()d file is also executed.
