I have a seperate file that is called header2.html and the code for it is:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="chrometheme/dropdownmenu.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="chrometheme/chrome.js">
</script>
<img src="title.jpg" width="95%" height="124" />
<div id="chromemenu">
<ul>
<li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>

</ul>

when i try to put into the body on another page using the command:

<!-- #include="header2.html"-->

nothing shows up...i am using dreamweaver and when i preview it in firefox nothing shows up...please help

[crazytyler34]

i figured it out...nevermind the command is

<!--#include file="header2.html" -->

random note... but realize that is, i think, a method DW uses to join the pages together for you. If you uploaded the raw page, it would be just a comment, and nothing would show up.
so... you must use dw to edit that page.

look into php for this (really easy) if you want a more versatile/controllable system)
code example: --replace the above code with this:

<?php include("header2.html"); ?>

note: only works on a server that has php enable to interpret the pages... won't work locally (though DW does have some support for faking it)

The above is SSI, actually, and will work on a server with SSI support.

<!--#include file="header2.html" -->
That is? Or my php? I think you mean the above line.

Hmm... didn't know that. Sorry for being misleading, crazytyler.

That is? Or my php? I think you mean the above line.

Obviously not the PHP.

[djr33]

Ha, ok.

I've heard php called server side includes... after all, it IS, but not the technical term... just the meaning.... including stuff serverside.
Nevermind.

Carry on
