IChaps Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Hello. I'd just like to enquire, how would I include one html file in another? I'm using a bootstrap theme. I've created a menu, which I would like to include on a few more pages I'll be creating. I have used the old method - <!-- webbot bot="Include" U-Include="mainmenu.html" TAG="BODY" --> but I can't get this to work. I've also used iframe but all I get is a blank square. Could anyone please help? Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I've never heard of "webbot" or anything like that before it's probably a feature used by some proprietary software. HTML does not have the ability to include other pages in it, you need a server-side programming language to do that. PHP is among the most popular server-side languages.

IChaps Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hello Ingolme, Thank you for you reply. It's been about 8-10 years since I built a web site, so things may have changed some-what. The line I specified above, was used when I used FrontPage 2000/2002. Now, all attempts to use include in html has failed. I've used the guide on w3schools's site and I can't get to this to work for some reason. I just don't know what else to try. I'd welcome any help. Thank You.

Ingolme Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Including code has never been a native functionality of HTML, you will need a server-side programming language to do it. Most likely the FrontPage editor used to replace those tokens with code from other files before exporting the files for the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
