How do I put include files in html - what is the syntax please

[frankfriend]

Can someone help please. What is the syntax in an html file to make an server side include file work?

I know the include file needs to be a .shtml file with X10 hosting.

If anyone who has used it could point me at their site so I can see the code in practice i would greatly appreciate it.

I would use php. It's more readily available everywhere.

If you really want to use html; try google.

Otherwise: use php. The syntax is:

<?php

include('somefile.html');

?>

<!--#include virtual="path to file/include-file.html" -->

But using a php include in a php source file will be better..
