Hey, I have a prostore hosting account for a small biz. I need to change to a hosting compaany that supports server side stuff.

Anyways the prob is I have designed my pages for the prostores setup.

They use a header html file for your top nav and left side nav bars in tables.

Then a footer html file with bottum links and stuff.

The main content are seperate html files that are inserted between the header and footer. The header has html code for a center table for the content to load in but the closing tags for this table are in the footer.

Ok I like this setup but how does ther server combine the headr, content, than footer as one viewble file when you go to the site.

my site is www.sparticusgoods.com

you can see the code from view source. The header, content and footer are labled, yet are three seperate files. At least I think thery are three seperate files.

Thanks.
Chris

It depends upon the server. One typical way is PHP (a server side scripting language). There are at least several other ways (some that might not technically qualify as scripting languages), none of which I am all that familiar with. In any case, the page you are viewing is constructed on the fly from its components, using one or more of these methods. Javascript is often included for those users who have it enabled, this takes some of the load off of the server, in those cases.
